it's obvious that the word for the second blank should be opposite to urban and intricate at the same time
simple seems tempting but it is in no way opposite to urban
historic doesnt make any sense, because we are talking about 2 things in the present time
bucolic refers to relating to pleasant aspects of a country side. this one fits
serene seems to be the other answer but once again its not the opposite to urban
tense doesn't make any sense. it serious or critical (kind of)
rustic means relating to simple rural life
option C and F are correct
kudos is appreciated
