Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Solution:

The correct sequence of words to fill the blanks is: Profound, Faster, Intrusive.

  • Blank 1 — Profound: Profound fits because 'have had a profound effect' means a great or intense impact on business and personal lives. Words like 'tepid' or 'unctuous' do not convey the intended meaning.

  • Blank 2 — Faster: Faster is appropriate because 'technology makes communications faster and easier' is natural and grammatically correct.

  • Blank 3 — Intrusive: Intrusive fits because technology can be unwelcome or annoying in some contexts, so 'can also be intrusive and misinterpreted' makes sense.

Why other words do not fit:

  • Tepid (lukewarm) is too weak to describe the overall effect; unctuous (excessively flattering) and mentioned (irrelevant here) do not fit the intended meanings or the grammar of the sentence.

Finished sentence:

Communication technology, such as mobile phones, have had a profound effect on nearly everyone’s business and personal lives. While technology makes communications faster and easier, at times it can also be intrusive and misinterpreted.
