Explanation
The sentence is saying that unless we improve something about the underprivileged, a decrease in crime is unlikely.
Blank (i)
“improve substantially the (i) ______ status of the underprivileged”
financial: This makes logical sense (economic condition)
enormous: This doesn’t fit with “status”
questionable: This is awkward and illogical here
Best choice: A
Blank (ii)
“a substantial (ii) ______ in our crime rate is remote”
“remote” means unlikely, so we’re talking about something desirable (like a decrease).
ascension: No! increase (wrong direction)
development: No. neutral, doesn’t fit
attenuation: This is good, reduction or decrease
Best choice: F
Answer: A,F
