Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: Faultless and Impeccable
Key idea: The simile "like clothes set out for a wedding" suggests a carefully arranged, flawless display. Both words mean without flaw and therefore fit the blank.
Both "Faultless" and "Impeccable" mean 'without defect' and reinforce the idea of perfect arrangement.
A natural final phrasing is: "they looked faultless and impeccable, like clothes set out for a wedding."
Why the other words don't work: "Imperfect" contradicts the sense of perfection; "Criminal" is unrelated to describing appearance.
Final sentence: She arranged them on the big table on the terrace where they looked faultless and impeccable, like clothes set out for a wedding.
