Explanatory Answer

Before the first two blanks describing the discoveries is the word 'unplanned'. The words 'unpredicted' and 'unappreciated' chime with 'unplanned' and also make the best sense in the given context. All other options contain adjectives like 'astonishing', 'amazing', 'superb', and 'shocking' which don't really take forward the idea that the discoveries mentioned were not planned in advance. Also, for the third blank 'unappreciated well after their initial use' makes the best sense.


The answer is 'Unpredicted, Unappreciated, Unappreciated'

Choice E is the correct answer.
