In 'Power Trip', Amanda Little discusses the unprecedented blackout of [#permalink]
Expert Reply
The passage discusses Amanda Little's book Power Trip, which covers:
- The 2003 blackout and how it surprised Americans (Blank i).
- Henry Ford's car production and American attitudes toward oil (Blank ii).
- Green energy pioneers, with Little avoiding personal opinions, making her work reportage (Blank iii).

- (D) blissful unawareness $\(\rightarrow\)$ Ignorance (fits historically; Americans ignored oil's limits).
- (E) genuine concerns $\(\rightarrow\)$ Opposite of the context (implies awareness).
- (F) pontifical approach $\(\rightarrow\)$ Pretentious moralizing (irrelevant).

Best choice: (D) blissful unawareness (aligns with the critique of complacency).

Blank (ii): Genuine concerns contradicts the historical critique; pontifical is off-topic.

I hope this helps
