The 19th-century poet Hanz Joerin always carried a litany of journals not because he was a(n) (i)______ writer but a(n) (ii) _______ one: when inspiration did strike, his penmanship carried such preponderance that ink would bleed through to subsequent pages, rendering them unusable.
Blank (i)

B) opportunistic
C) industrious
Blank (ii)

E) vigorous
F) expressive

Answer 1

Answer:

C and E (industrious and vigorous )

These were the best right choice of answer owing to the clue gotten from the subsequent phrase "his penmanship carried such preponderance" which shows poet Hanz Joerin was energetic enthusiastic and vigorous in writing. This is also implied by the statement "ink would bleed through to subsequent pages",
