    A III-I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B V-II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C III-II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D II-IV Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E IV-I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Magnum Opus means the best work. Thus, in the second blank MAGNUM will be used. In the first blank, MOST/LEAST are the best fit grammatically. But contextually, since the report is magnum opus, it should be the most significant document. On July 12, one of the most significant documents on Australia’s ties with India was released in Canberra. More than 500 pages long, the report is a magnum opus even by the author’s exacting standards.
