Blank (i) needs a word that says explainable so understandable fits here.
Blank (ii) needs a word that is compared with a caricature/cartoon and an overdrawn caricature fits here.

Greetings Carcass,

The fact that the second sentence is beginning with "because" made me confused. It sounds like the author is complaining about "exaggeration" to the degree that he calls it "carricature". By the way, why would somebody use because after something that is understandable??? When some thing is understandable I wouldn't prefer to use "because", which is because it does not seem to require explanation... I thought inexplicable for the first and the overdrawn for the second fill were more sensible...

Let's analyze the sentence:
"That Jane Austen's satiric wit is lost on some readers is (i) \$ $\qquad$ \$ because it is so (ii) \$ $\qquad$ \$ as to become caricature; for example, consider the Rev. Collins in Pride and Prejudice."

The sentence explains why some readers might miss Austen's satire: it is so exaggerated that it becomes like a caricature. The example given is Mr. Collins, who is indeed a highly exaggerated character (pompous, obsequious, and lacking self-awareness).

For blank (ii), we need a word that means "exaggerated" or "overstated." Both "flashy" (D) and "showy" (E) imply something designed to attract attention, often in a gaudy way, but they don't directly mean "exaggerated." "Overdrawn" (F) means exaggerated or overstated, which fits perfectly here: the satire is so overdrawn (exaggerated) that it becomes caricature.

For blank (i), we need a word that describes why it is understandable or logical that some readers miss the satire. If the satire is so exaggerated that it seems like caricature, it might be mistaken for mere comedy or absurdity rather than subtle critique. Thus, it is "understandable" (B) that some readers don't get it. "Logical" (A) could work but is less precise; "inexplicable" (C) would mean it cannot be explained, which contradicts the reason given.

So:
- Blank (i): understandable (B)
- Blank (ii): overdrawn (F)

Final answer:
Blank (i): B. understandable
Blank (ii): F. overdrawn
