In the given question, two words are omitted and replaced by blanks. Choose the best combination of words that can fit the blanks in the same order to make a grammatically and logically correct statement. The journalist's report was both _____ and revealing, managing to _____ even the most well-guarded aspects of the scandal.

1. calculation, observe
2. insightful, uncover
3. biased, interrupt
4. redundant, simplify

Correct answer: insightful, uncover

Solution

The sentence needs an adjective that pairs naturally with 'revealing' and a verb that means to expose hidden details. 'Insightful' fits the report's quality, and 'uncover' fits the action of revealing scandal details. The other options are either grammatically awkward or semantically unsuitable.
