It enables him to fix fleeting memories and to communicate with his fellows. II. The primary focus will be on the act of measuring, with everything else receiving a rather cursory treatment. III.

    A Adversity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Ceaselessly Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Momentary Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Callous Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Balmy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    An adjective is required to replace the given adjectives, 'callous' [noun/adjective] cannot be used in sentence I as it says that the person wants to communicate so it creates a contradiction and 'balmy' [adjective] is contextually incorrect in all three. So, it is clear that 'momentary' [adjective] is the right choice. No other word can replace all three highlighted words. Hence, option (c) is correct.
