manwiththemission2005 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 It is implied in the later part of the sentence, that a simultaneous interest in was not common in the past (refer to italics).Thus, sporadically(Recurring in scattered and irregular or unpredictable instances) and selectively both fit in the second blank. But 'abstract intuition' doesn't make much sense, so I'll go with C. This is posted by samy_dg in another thread. Thanks to Samy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
