Explanation

This question is best answered by first completing the third blank. The third sentence sets up a comparison between repressing memories and forgetting
them. The word “for” indicates that the last part of the sentence — “repressed memories are prone to come back” — presents the basis of that comparison. Choice G, “permanent,” is the only choice that is related to the tendency to come back.

Working backward, the sentence begins with “In spite of,” suggesting that the correct choice for the second blank is contrary to what one might expect. One would ordinarily expect that something entailing effort would be more rather than less permanent.

Neither “eases” nor “conveys” sets up such an expectation. Filling the second and third blanks makes it possible to fill the first blank. Nothing
in the completed text suggests that true forgetting is “more common” or “less controlled” than the repression of painful memories, but it does suggest that true forgetting is different in its effect — it is more permanent. Thus, Choice B, “different in its effect,” is correct.

Thus, the correct answer is different in its effect (Choice B), entails (Choice F), and permanent (Choice G).

Inspite of the effort repressing memories takes, it is less arduous than total forgetting.

Doesn't arduous make sense in this context as well? There is a clear contrast in the effort needed with the "Inspite" and "than" keywords between totally forgetting and repressing memories.

No mate, it wouldn't be.

repressing unwanted memories is more arduous than truly forgetting them.

Please reply if you have any questions.

Could this be because there is nothing mentioned about effort pertaining to truly forgetting?

i am still unable to figure out why entail option is choosen as correct answer?

Basically, the question says: repressing and forgetting are two different things.

Now, regardless of the phenomenon is the cause, it is appointed (entails) of the forgetting, they are different.

The phenomenon of repressing is NOT responsible of the forgetting even though we point out (entails, implicated) of the other phenomenon

Ask if anything is STILL unclear
