OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answers are B and E.
The key phrase in this sentence is "even though," which implies a contrast to Owen's service to paleontology. Such a contrast would be the incorrect construction of an inaccurate dinosaur model, and "erroneous" and "inaccurate" both convey such a meaning. Choice A, "authentic," is the opposite of the correct answers. While Owen's model may have been "awe-inspiring," such a detail would not be preceded by the phrase "even though," so choice C is not the best answer for this context. Choice D,"decorous," means "wellmannered," and choice F, "pastoral," means "rural," which would be strange ways to describe a dinosaur model under any circumstances.
