1. B


The word economy comes as a contrast to the expression ‘abundant fecundity’ – which means plenty of fruitful yieldings or results. E is a possible choice. But ‘perfection’ and ‘precision’ the same. So it does not make sense in the context.

2. C


The choices B and D seem to be suitable, but the second word choices do not fit in the context the expression ‘may contain’ could bring about deleterious (toxic or harmful) effects.

3. C


The clue is the word ‘admitting’ – means making a confession that they are risks involved in the use of insecticide – the negative word ‘not’ requires a negative expression in the first blank. Hence ‘inconsequential’. Second word ‘alternatives’ of B choices is right. But ‘unusual’ does not fit in. The other choices do not fit in the context to carry forward its correct meaning.

4. D


Our higher moral life is based on the fact that ‘material’ sensations may have a weaker influence on our action than do ideas of ‘remote’ facts.

5. A


All other choices are not as befitting. ‘variety’ explains the expression – ‘unending series of different molecules.’

6. A


The word ‘difficult’ to believe … demands the use of word ‘intolerant’ in the blank to give it a correct sense of the meaning.
