The Logic: The "Mismatch" Clue
The sentence points out a disconnect: the nation is multicultural, but the classrooms emphasize only British-American literature.
1. Blank (ii): E. diversity
- Why? The first part of the sentence defines the nation as "multicultural." Therefore, the literature in the classroom is failing to reflect the country's cultural diversity.
- D. unanimity (agreement) and $\mathbf{F}$. aspirations (ambitions) do not fit the context of a "multicultural" description.
2. Blank (i): C. stifled
- Why? If a nation's "intellectual flexibility" comes from being multicultural, but the education system ignores that variety by focusing only on one specific culture (British-American), then that flexibility is being stifled (suppressed or smothered).
- A. inculcated (instilled) and B. encouraged are the opposite of what happens when a curriculum is narrow and non-reflective of the population.
