Question

His explanation was ---, providing little insight into the actual --- of the problem. 
 

• A. detailed
• B. vague
• C. elaborate
• D. resolution
• E. complexity

Hint:

Phrases like “providing little insight” often point to words such as vague, unclear, or superficial, while “actual nature” or “true issue” suggests complexity.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B,

Step 1: Understanding the context. 
The clue phrase “providing little insight” suggests that the explanation was unclear or lacking in depth. This indicates that the first blank should have a negative meaning related to being unclear or imprecise. 
Step 2: Evaluating the first blank. 
(A) detailed — means thorough and complete; opposite of what the sentence implies. 
(B) vague — means unclear or lacking specific details; perfectly fits the context. 
(C) elaborate — means detailed or complex; again, opposite of “providing little insight.” 
Step 3: Evaluating the second blank. 
The explanation failed to reveal the true nature or difficulty of the issue, so the second blank must relate to the problem’s depth or difficulty. 
(D) resolution — means solving or ending the problem; not the right fit. 
(E) solution — means answer or fix; also doesn’t fit “little insight into.” 
(F) complexity — means the intricate or difficult nature of something; fits perfectly. 
Step 4: Conclusion. 
The best pair is “vague” and “complexity,” showing that the explanation was unclear and failed to address the deeper aspects of the problem. 

Final Answer: (B) vague and (F) complexity
