Unless a hidden cache of scrolls is found, historians believe we will never have _______ account of the true causes of the Bronze Age Collapse, as most written records from that chaotic era were lost or never created.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
an imaginative
a superficial
a comprehensive
a questionable
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. The text explains that most records were "lost or never created." Therefore, it is unlikely we will ever have a complete or full account. "Comprehensive" means complete; including all or nearly all elements or aspects.
Choice A is incorrect because we can have an "imaginative" account regardless of evidence. Choice B is incorrect because a "superficial" (shallow) account is likely what we do have due to the lack of evidence. Choice D is incorrect because a "questionable" account is also likely; the text focuses on the inability to get a full/accurate picture.
