OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answers are B and E.
Choices $B$ and $E$, the synonyms "mimic" and "imitate," mean "to copy, to resemble." Choices A and D are a synonym pair, meaning "to be a typical example of," which is not exactly the same as imitating, which fits the sense better. Choice C, "illustrate," means "to clarify, to present an example" and doesn't fit the sense, nor does it have a synonym among the answer choices. Choice F, "reflect," meaning "to make apparent or show an image of," has no a synonym in the list nor does it fit the sense.
