Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

A

discriminating

B

careless

C

colorful

D

random

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the best answer. The passage describes ability to spot subtle details others miss. "Discriminating" means showing refined taste or judgment, fitting this expert detection.

Choice B is incorrect because "careless" contradicts spotting details. Choice C is incorrect because "colorful" refers to color, not judgment. Choice D is incorrect because "random" contradicts skilled analysis.
