The answers are A and E.
The sentence discusses cultural symbols associated with good omens or positive significance.
A. an auspicious: "Auspicious" refers to something that brings good fortune or is considered favorable. In the sentence, it describes the four-leaf clover as a symbol widely identified as bringing good luck in Western cultures.
B. a facetious: "Facetious" means treating serious issues with inappropriate humor or frivolity. This word does not fit the context of discussing symbols associated with good omens.
C. a pious: "Pious" relates to religious devotion or showing reverence to a deity. It does not relate to the context of cultural symbols associated with good omens.
D. a pervasive: "Pervasive" refers to something that is widespread or prevalent across a wide area or group. This word doesn't directly describe a symbol associated with good omens; rather, it denotes the extent of something being widespread.
E. a propitious: "Propitious" means indicating a good chance of success or favorable conditions. In the sentence, it describes the wheel as a symbol widely recognized as a good omen in Buddhist cultures.
F. a prophetic: "Prophetic" relates to predicting or foretelling future events. It doesn't fit the context of describing cultural symbols associated with good omens.
The sentence contrasts the four-leaf clover in Western cultures (seen as an "auspicious" symbol) with the wheel in Buddhist cultures (recognized as a "propitious" symbol). Both words ("auspicious" and "propitious") effectively convey the idea of symbols associated with positive outcomes or good luck in their respective cultural contexts.
