It is necessary because the universe is NECESSARY to have the order as we do know and for that reason, God does not throw the dice"

primordial is not because we are in the evolution state, continuously.

Accidental is just the opposite of necessary. The universe is in that configuration is not accidental.

It is necessary of being this way

hope this helps

When Einstein asserted that "God does not throw dice", he was not only (i)___ a common theological position that the world has an order, but also a deep intuition that the world is as it is in a (ii)____ sense. It is no (iii)_____.

Clues:

"asserted" and "god does not throw dice" - Which basically means the he is correct saying that the world has not being made by randomness.

Hence, in the first blank we can faslty eliminate "jettisoning (throw away)" and "attacking" because we have to choose something related with "accepting" and order... he was not only (i)___ a common.....that the world has an order"

Then second and third blank should be opposed ones...

So if we are choosing that wold has and order then "accidental" is out, we stay with primordial and necessary and move to the third one...

Third one should be opposed to "order" so the only option would be "accident"

Return to the second one... If the third one is "an accident", then the second one need to be something like "the world is not an accident but the way it should be..." the best option then would be "necessary"...

"When Einstein asserted that "God does not throw dice", he was not only (i)___ a common theological position that the world has an order, but also a deep intuition that the world is as it is in a (ii)____ sense. It is no (iii)_____."

Meaning- God doesn't throw dice means the world was made in a certain way and for a reason.

A- Jettisoning means dumping or dropping something. Illogical here.
B- Attacking is an opposite here. We need the word support.
C- Reflecting here means contemplating or study. Works well.
D- Accidental means chance. An opposite here since we are trying to state that the world is as it is for a reason.
E- Primordial means ancient. Illogical.
F- Necessary means obligatory or required. Works well.
G- Necessity means essential and is an opposite here since we are saying this is not an accident of sorts.
H- Accident is a perfect fit.
I- Spontaneity has an illogical meaning here.

The first blank is easy, it compares Einsteins view that "God does not throw dice" and a common viewpoint that the world has order. Both agree so we choose 'reflecting'. The following blanks must support this line of thought. The world is as is not 'accidentally' because there's no chance involved, 'primordial' doesn't make sense either. So we choose necessary. Lastly the sentence says that this is no _______. Only accident fits here as per our line of thought. So we choose C,F and H

i. He was not arguing against, Not dumping something
ii. world has an order - He says order isnt a gods way of things- It is in such state as the laws dictate Hence it is out of necessity
iii. Should be opposite to the second blank which is accident.

Don't understand these clues, I can "assert" you are wrong or right while we do not know the common theological position. So why must we choose something related to accepting?

Please explain.


If the second blank is filled (most doubtful), the third one makes perfect sense but

if he attacked, then it makes sense that the world is evolving in a primordial sense therefore it is no accident/spontaneity as evolution is a slow sure process.

Also, who says "necessary sense".....


ONLY way I could have guessed the correct is this (CORRECT ME IF THIS IS A BAD STRATEGY)

3rd blank- spontaneity and accident are similar, as are attacking/jettisoning (less so).
Thus choosing an unrelated word makes sense if the degree of strength in synonyms is not the same.

Blank (i) Blank (ii) Blank (iii)
jettisoning accidental necessity
attacking primordial accident
reflecting necessary spontaneity



Is it a good strategy to single out the distinct word as an answer since synonyms are likely not be answers.

eg: Spontaneity and Accident

maybe even attack and jettison (loosely meaning oppose)
