OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answer is E.
The sentence describes a situation in which something is initially unknown or mysterious but becomes clear after a visit to the veterinarian, and "inexplicable" means "mysterious." Choice A, "unambiguous," means the opposite of "inexplicable." Choice B, "ineluctable," means "inescapable," which does not make sense in this context. Choice C, "circumspect," means "cautious," which is not as strong of an answer as "inexplicable" considering the initially mysterious nature of the dog's behavior. Choice D "cantankerous" means "bad tempered," and since the passage does not indicate that this kind of behavior is symptomatic of pregnancy in dogs, it is not as strong of an answer as choice E is.
