This is an easy one if you know what the sentence is saying.


Notwithstanding his___________talents, after walking out onto the expansive stage and feeling the expectant hush of the arena, the young virtuoso felt quite incapable of performing the piece he had so mellifluously played in practice.

The player is described as virtuoso, that means he had a talent to do so. The first clue will be that the blank is positive.

Pairing the words:

Prodigious & extraordinary
Exiguous & meager
Melodious and multifarious do not match each other and thus, can be negated

Now, from the options left we need something positive only prodigious and extraordinary suffice. Meager and exiguous does not match the context as well.

Hope this helps!
