1. Key Clues:
- "Painstaking effort to revive" $\(\rightarrow\)$ Suggests significant work was done.
- "Only [blank] increases" $\(\rightarrow\)$ Implies minimal or underwhelming growth.
2. Evaluate Options:
(A) dynamic (rapid/changing) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Contradicts "only"; implies strong growth.
(B) predictable $\(\rightarrow\)$ Incorrect; doesn't address the scale of growth.
(C) expanding $\(\rightarrow\)$ Too neutral; doesn't convey disappointment.
(D) modest (small/limited) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Fits; aligns with underwhelming results.
(E) slight (minor) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Fits; emphasizes minimal growth.
(F) volatile (unstable) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Incorrect; unrelated to growth size.
Correct Answers: (D) modest and (E) slight.
