OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answers are A, D, and G.
Answer Blank (i): Choice A, "extraordinary," is the best answer. Choice B , "copious," means "abundant, in large quantity" and could fit the sense, but "series" implies "many," so to say "abundant" would be redundant. Choice C, "massive," meaning "extremely large in amount, or large and heavy," doesn't make sense. Answer Blank (ii): Choice D, "underlying," means "lying beneath" literally, but it also means "hidden and significant, or essential," the appropriate meaning in this context. Choice E, "external," means "coming from the outside, or suitable for use on the outside, or something outside the scope," and doesn't fit the sense. Choice F, "conventional," means "socially accepted, customary, or established by general use or agreement," which doesn't fit the sense.
Answer Blank (iii): Choice G, "intrepid," means "courageous" and fits the sense of daring feats. Choice H , "steadfast," meaning "persistent, loyal, unwavering" may be true about epic heroes, but doesn't fit the sense. Nor does choice I, "resolute," which means "firm in belief or purpose, or quickness."
