The movie script is boring. However, the special effect makes the film interesting and they keep up interested in the story, otherwise pretty dull.

Ask for further assistance if you do need.

I believe there is a spelling mistake in the question which created ambiguity in answering it?
Can someone please correct it?

Fixed. Thank you so much for the feedback.

thanks, I got the hang of it now

We know from the sentence that the special effects, unlike the story, continue to evolve. Therefore my own word for the second blank is unevolving. Only exhausted can produce a similar meaning and so F is the correct choice for the second blank. Clearly if the special effects are evolving, then they must be exciting and definitely not predictable or juvenile. There is nothing to suggest juvenile, though it may be the personal opinion of some, and also juvenile has a negative connotation that is not implied by the paragraph.Since the special effects are exciting, and unfamiliar (unlike the story which would be awfully unfamiliar) they would hold us in thrall.

Special effects in movies are ____________, in that unlike the story, whose permutations seem to have long ago been ____________, they continue to evolve: if we were magically beamed years into the future (of course that story has been told numerous times before), the special effects would ____________; the story would be awfully familiar.

Blank (i)	Blank (ii)	Blank (iii)
predictable	evaluated	be incomprehensible
exciting	conveyed	hold us in thrall
juvenile	exhausted	remain unchanged

for a non-native English speaker like me, I also get confused between B and C. After I look up the examples of juvenile from the Internet, I am sure that the answer is B because the sentence context has nothing to do with the youths, or the next generations.

hope it helps

exciting,exaushted,hold in thrall because special effects are exciting

My only question is why is A and D not a good answer suggestion?

A cannot be correct, because movies, unlike the story, continue to EVOLVE. Meaning that they are constantly changing, and hence they cannot be predictable.

I can understand, however, why D could be a candidate. Because, "evaluated" could mean that permutations of modifying the scripts have been evaluated. But, note "evaluated" doesn't mean the story cannot be evaluated again. The idea here is that movies are always changing, but the story doesn't. Because, it is in the state of immutable or not evolving. Exhausted is a better word, because in the context, it means that the permutation of the story has been used up or "exhausted".

Let me know if it is still unclear.
