The answer should be C and E.
Blank (i): "Robust" means strong, sturdy, or substantial. Contrasted with the term "argument," it indicates a significant difference in terms of strength and structure. The sentence implies that the book lacks the strength and robustness expected in a well-structured argument. Instead, the content of the book might be diverse, variable, or lacking a fixed, coherent argumentative structure.
Blank (ii): For the second blank, "emulation" fits the context. "Emulation" means imitation or following an example. The sentence suggests that the book seems to imitate or follow the behavior of its mascot (hummingbirds) by swiftly moving from one subject or historical moment to another.
