The Internet is a medium where users have nearly ___________ choices and ____________ constraints about where to go and what to do.
Show Hint
- unbalanced, nonexistent
- embarrassing, no
- unlimited, minimal
shocking, none
The Correct Option is C
Approach Solution - 1
The Internet provides vast options and choices for users, giving them almost no limits on where to go or what to do. The key terms are "unlimited" and "minimal": - "Unlimited" accurately describes the expansive range of choices available online. - "Minimal" indicates that constraints are few and far between, highlighting the freedom users experience. The other options like "unbalanced," "embarrassing," and "shocking" do not fit the context of the Internet, which is generally described as a place with abundant freedom and limited constraints. Therefore, the correct answer is (C).
Approach Solution -2
The qualifier "nearly" only makes sense before a word that describes a matter of degree, something that can approach an extreme without fully reaching it, so testing "nearly" against each option's second word rules several out immediately.
- Option A (unbalanced, nonexistent): "Nonexistent" is an absolute, all-or-nothing state, and something cannot be "nearly nonexistent" in the way the sentence needs, besides "unbalanced" not describing the breadth of choice being praised.
- Option B (embarrassing, no): "No constraints" is likewise an absolute state that "nearly" cannot meaningfully qualify, and "embarrassing" does not describe the scale of available choice.
- Option C (unlimited, minimal): "Unlimited" is a scalable word that "nearly" can precede naturally, since choices can come close to being unlimited, and "minimal" describes a small but nonzero degree of constraint, which "nearly" can also precede sensibly.
- Option D (shocking, none): "None" is again an absolute state incompatible with "nearly," and "shocking" describes a reaction rather than the scale of choice.
- Option E: No text is provided for this option.
Since "nearly" needs a gradable word on both sides, and only "unlimited" and "minimal" describe matters of degree rather than an absolute state, this pair fits the sentence.
Hence, the correct answer is (C) unlimited, minimal.

"The emancipation of women", James Joyce told one of his friends, "has caused the greatest revolution in our time."
Other modernists agree: Virginia Woolf, claiming that in a about 1910 "human character changed" and illustrating the new balance between the sexes, urged, "Read the 'Agamemon' and see whether your sympathies are not almost entirely with Clytemnestra". D.H. Lawrence wrote "perhaps the deepest fight for 200 years and more has been the fight for women's independence".
But if modernist writers considered women's revolt against men's domination as one of their "greatest" and "deepest" themes, only recently, perhaps in the past 15 years has literary criticism begun to catch up with it. Not that the images of sexual antagonism that abound in modern literature have gone unremarked - far from it. We are able to see in literary works the perspective we bring to them and now that women are enough to make a difference in reforming canons and interpreting literature, the landscapes of literary history and the features of individual books have begun to change. - Choose the correct sentence
