OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answers are $C$ and $D$.
The phrase "forever change" in the second part of the sentence is the clue that identifies "revolutionary" and "transformative," choices C and D . Both indicate radical change. Choice A, "modernization," is also a form of change, but doesn't fit the context. Choice B, "reforming," may seem correct because it means "to change for the better," but it doesn't have the connotation of radical change that is implied in the sentence. Choice E, "huge," is a vague word that doesn't indicate the nature of the change. Choice F is incorrect because "corrective" implies that something was wrong and needed to be fixed and that's not implied in the passage.
