Explanation

The structure of the sentence alerts us that it will describe a kind of contradiction or paradox: music lovers want something, but when they get what they want, they discover some cause for dissatisfaction.

Among the answer choices, the only two words that produce such a paradox are “flawlessness” and “wrong” — the music lovers long for flawlessness but are unsatisfied with a world in which nothing is wrong.

Thus, the correct answer is flawlessness (Choice C) and wrong (Choice D).

Becasue they search for something of perfection or flawless NOT something new. So A is wrong.

And when they do not understand for them nothing is wrong just because they do not understand.

Changed is out of scope.

Ask if it is still unclear to you
