PASSAGE
The artist's studio was a ______ space, filled with half-finished canvases, scattered brushes, and jars of dried paint, reflecting the creative whirlwind of her mind.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
Detailed Explanation
The description of 'scattered brushes' and a 'creative whirlwind' suggests a messy and disordered environment. 'Chaotic' captures this sense of disorder.
Key Evidence:
• "filled with half-finished canvases"
• "scattered brushes"
• "creative whirlwind"
Why others are wrong: B (Pristine means spotless and clean, which contradicts the scattered and filled nature of the room.), C (Vacant means empty, but the room is described as being 'filled' with items.), D (Organized implies order, while 'scattered' implies the opposite.).
