Turing's life exerts a powerful and irresistible (D) effect on writers, mirroring the "hard to resist" draw of his intellectual and dramatic story.
Correct Choices
The two answers are abiding (A) and perennial (C). myaccount.
Both describe a lasting, enduring ("powerful and [blank]") influence that persists over time.
Why These Fit
- Abiding: enduring, continuing steadfastly.
- Perennial: everlasting, recurrent year after year (e.g., writers repeatedly drawn).
theperennialquote Irresistible parallels "hard to resist" but isn't the pair; unmitigated (E, unrelieved) or multifaceted ( $F$, many-sided) don't match duration.
Turing's Appeal
His genius in computing/WWII codebreaking combined with personal tragedy (persecution, suicide) creates timeless fascination for biographers.
