Question 1 : Carefully read the following statement:

When I ask people to name three recently implemented technologies that most impact our world today, they usually propose the computers, the Internet and the laser. All three were unplanned, ___________, and_____________ upon their discovery and remained __________ well after their initial use.

Which of the following options will BEST fill up the above blanks meaningfully?

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.
