Here, I can use the phrases “human nature” and “long distances” to deduce the word “tradition” in B and “ritual” in C. But If the adjective (cherished vs. disquieting) is to provide an objective evaluation exceeding the speed, C should be the answer for blank 1. In other words, why should we assume the correct objective in blank 1’s options is to describe the action from the perspective of the state’s residents rather than common sense.
