(II) Blare

(III) Flash

Which of the following options correctly fills the blanks?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Analyze the first blank: "While she was working, she heard a sudden _____________ of inspiration outside."
   - The word should describe a sudden occurrence related to inspiration (a sudden event or feeling).
   - (I) Burst: Means a sudden, intense occurrence or explosion, which fits well with "a sudden burst of inspiration" (a common phrase).
   - (II) Blare: Refers to a loud, harsh sound, usually of a horn or siren. It does not fit well with "inspiration".
   - (III) Flash: Usually refers to a sudden burst of light or a quick occurrence, but "flash of inspiration" is also a common phrase.

2. Analyze the second blank: "which was caused by the ______________ of light from the night star."
   - The word should describe a sudden emission or appearance of light.
   - (I) Burst: Can mean a sudden emission, but is less commonly used for light.
   - (II) Blare: Not related to light, but to sound.
   - (III) Flash: Perfectly fits as it means a sudden bright light.

3. Matching the pairs:
   - "a sudden burst of inspiration" is a correct and common phrase.
   - "a flash of light from the night star" is also a correct and common phrase.

4. Therefore, the correct combination is (I) for the first blank and (III) for the second blank.

**Answer:** (e) Both (I) and (III)
