B, F Replacing human workers with robots could be considered a good thing or a bad thing, depending on whom you ask. The second part of the sentence mentions an “ability” of the robots. That’s a positive statement about the robots, so predict that the second blank will describe how the robots have “improved” production quality. (F) enhanced is a great match for the prediction and is the correct answer for the second blank. (D) hampered, or “created difficulties for,” is the opposite of what is needed here. (E) sterilized can mean “made incapable of reproducing,” “made free of living microorganisms,” or even “made powerless or useless,” none of which makes sense in this sentence.
