exhaustive and precipitous
The first blank is an easy place to start, and refers to a quality of the study of a disease. The clue for the first blank is slow. The transition word and indicates that the word for the first blank will match slow, so recycle “slow” as a word for the first blank. Eliminate (A) and (C) because they do not match “slow,” and the correct answer for the first blank is (B), exhaustive. Now, look at the second blank. The second blank refers to the types of breakthroughs through which cures for major diseases have often been found. The clue for the second blank is slow. The transition word however indicates that the word for the blank will be the opposite of slow, so use “fast” as a word for the second blank. Choices (E) and (F) can be eliminated, because they do not match “fast.” The correct answer for the second blank is (D), precipitous, which indicates a sudden change. The correct answer is (B) and (D).
