    A strobe Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B delicacy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C tribulation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D relay Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E intricacy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    I: We need a noun to be modified by the adjective GREAT. DELICACY (the quality of being done carefully and gently) will fit here as the sentence tells us how the objects put on display in the museum are very old and should be handled with great care. II: We need a noun to be modified by the adjective SPECIAL. DELICACY (a type of food considered to be very special in a particular place) will fit here as the sentence tells us how susliks are eaten by the people of the Russian steppes who consider their flesh as a special food. Thus, B is the right answer. Strobe - a bright light that flashes rapidly on and off. Tribulation - a cause of great trouble or suffering. Relay - a race in which each member of a team runs, swims, etc. one part of the race. Intricacy - the quality of having many complicated parts or details.
