Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'surprise'.
- The passage discusses how society is obsessed with numbers.
- The word should indicate that it is expected or understandable why numbers are used in this context.
- "Surprise" fits well as it denotes something that is not unexpected, aligning with the context.
- Other options ("resolution", "vibrance", "persistence") do not fit the context of explaining that the use of numbers is predictable.
Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.
