Half a millennium ago, Galileo initiated the erosion of human anthropocentrism by demonstrating that our planet occupies no central station in the celestial order, sensory perceptions notwithstanding. Nevertheless, the inclination to evaluate the macrocosm through the distorting lens of our own perceived (i) _______ has demonstrated a remarkable (ii) _______ .
Anthropocentrism is making human beings the center of your worldview. The first sentence states that Galileo undermined it by demonstrating that our planet occupies no central station in the celestial order. The second sentence begins with "Nevertheless" indicating a contrast-shift in the meaning of the passage. Therefore, the second sentence should mean that the tendency to view human beings as central in the universe continues to exist. That sense can be obtained only if the word for the first blank is primacy and the second is tenacity.
The choices are C and D.
