OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answers are A and F.
Answer Blank (i): Choice A, "a phenomenon," best fits the context. It means "an unusual or significant fact or occurrence." Choice B, "an episode," refers to "a single event in a series or sequence," which doesn't fit the context. Choice C, "an omen," meaning "an indicator of a future event," doesn't fit the context either. Answer Blank (ii): Choice F, "pronounced," meaning "distinct, noticeable," fits with the context of a significant difference. Choice D, "imperceptible," means "difficult to perceive, subtle" and doesn't fit with the idea that a jobless recovery is a phenomenon, which is a significant difference. Choice E, "precise," means "sharply exact, designating a certain thing and nothing else" and doesn't make sense in the context.
