The answer is B and E.


In the context of the sentence, the phrase "given the political commercial _____ of the fishery in the province" refers to a specific aspect associated with the commercial salmon fishery. The phrase hints at the political influence or power of the commercial fishery in British Columbia.

Option B, "prominence," relates to the commercial fishery's high status or visibility. It conveys that the fishery holds a significant or influential position in the province, especially in political matters.

Option E, "salience," suggests the quality of being relevant, significant, or prominent in a particular context. It underscores the fishery's importance, particularly within the political sphere of the province.

Both words, "prominence" and "salience," convey the idea that the commercial salmon fishery holds a position of importance.

Given the political IMPORTANCE of the commercial fishery.

In essence is this the meaning of the blank.

The comparison is between recreational and commercial fishery but here the supremacy is when something is important and the other do not.

Both are important. Only that one is more than the other and shpuld be the other way around.

A. **Naivete:** Incorrect. "Naivete" refers to a lack of experience or sophistication, and it doesn't fit the context of the political or commercial aspects of the fishery.

B. **Prominence:** Correct. "Prominence" fits well in the context. It suggests the visibility or importance of the commercial fishery, aligning with the surprising statistic presented in the sentence.

C. **Supremacy:** Incorrect. "Supremacy" implies dominance or superiority, which may not be the most fitting term for the political commercial aspects discussed in the sentence.

D. **Ingenuousness:** Incorrect. "Ingenuousness" refers to innocence or simplicity, and it doesn't seem to capture the political or commercial nature of the fishery.

E. **Salience:** Correct. "Salience" works well in the context. It refers to the state of being particularly noticeable or important, fitting the idea that the recreational salmon fishery contributes more to the province's economy despite the political prominence of the commercial fishery.

F. **Resurgence:** Incorrect. "Resurgence" means a revival or comeback, which is not in line with the context of the political commercial aspects of the fishery.

So, based on the analysis, B. **Prominence** and E. **Salience** are the correct answers, as they effectively convey the idea of the surprising statistic in relation to the recreational and commercial salmon fisheries in British Columbia.
