Explanation
The clue “just as” tells you that the second part of the sentence will need to mirror the first part. Thus, the blank must match the meaning of provided with a model. Informed can be used in this way.
Don’t be tricked by duplicate (to provide a model isn’t to make an exact copy) or foresaw (the remnants of Roman culture didn’t tell the
future).
