OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answers are B and D.
In this sentence, the second independent clause amplifies the first independent clause, which is signified by the use of the conjunctive adverb "moreover." So the correct answers should indicate that the textbook suffers from flaws in addition to its lack of relevant information. The words need to describe the way the book is written, so "unsystematic" and "muddled" are the best answers since they both imply chaotic organization. Choice A, "methodical," is the opposite of "unsystematic" and "muddled." Choices C and E, "emblematic" and "quintessential," both mean "typical," which is too neutral for this context. Choice F, "shuffled," has a meaning similar to that of "unsystematic" and "muddled," but it does not convey disorganization as strongly as the correct answers do.
