We have yet to (i) _______ the assessment of Canada’s biodiversity.Most of the vertebrates have been assessed, but our challenge will be the assessment of invertebrates and plants. This task is (ii) ________ not only because of the high number of species, but also because of the diversity, each species requiring a different approach.For Blank- 1Since we are told that most of the vertebrates are assessed, the word for the first blank cannot be
initiate. Again since the challenge is to assess the invertebrates and plants, we can eliminate
limit - our task is not to limit but to complete all the assessment. So the correct choice is
complete.
For Blank- 2The task is not
trivial because of the high number of species, so we reject that as a choice.
The task is not
repetitious because of the diversity and each species requiring a different approach.
The choice is
daunting.
