The blank is describing the observer. The sentence gives further insight into the blank with the word ancient and the transition word or, which indicates that a good word for the blank is the opposite of ancient. Therefore, a good word for the blank could be “modern.” Choice (A), antiquated, is the opposite of “modern” so eliminate (A). Choice (B), perceptive, is a poor match for “modern,” so eliminate it. Choice (C), modern, is a perfect match, so keep (C). Choice (D), astute, is not a match for “modern,” so eliminate it. Choice (E), contemporary, is a good match, so keep it. Choice (F), archaic, is the opposite of “modern,” so eliminate it. The correct answer is (C) and (E).
