hey,

This is an extremely long and difficult text completion.

We start with the third bank... "historiographers would be (iii)_____ to not include the human foibles that were part of even the most ostensibly Apollonian endeavors". We are looking for a word similar to negligent. There are no options that match this.

For the first blank, author claims that 'Galileo did not fully uphold the tenets of scientific rationalism' however in the second part of the sentence he argues that the fault did not lie with a person but the general scientific method. Hence the word that is most suitable is one that means 'accuse'. Hence exclusively implicate is a good match.

For the second blank,the first part of the sentence challenges the idea that 'Galileo is the purported exemplar of rational thinking'. Hence 'considered enlightened' is not possible. 'Dismissed as inconsequential' is also not possible as it does not make sense with the second part of the sentence 'history of science cannot be understood as an endless succession of scientists carrying out their work free of all-too-human biases'. Hence 'found wanting' is the only possible option.

Regards,

PS: hope this was helpful. This is actually a very long text completion by GRE standards.
