An effective member of a debating team must focus clearly on the (i) _____ issue and avoid (i) _____ arguments.
principal and comprehensive are the two good candidates because an effective debater would not focus on an equivocal issue (equivocal = talking for both sides)
But if he focused on the comprehensive issue, he would avoid partial or incomplete arguments, and no such choice exists for the second blank.
So, principal and its opposite, peripheral are the words for the two blanks.
