Complete the sentence
0 Puritans brought to civil and military affairs a coolness of judgment and 01 i 00 _____ 02 i 00 of purpose that some writers have thought _______with their religious zeal, but which were, in fact, a natural outgrowth of it. 02 br
00 A) a militancy…concomitant 02 br
00 B) a sense…incompatible 02 br
00 C) a mutability…. inconsistent 02 br
00 D) a direction…auxiliary 02 br
00 E) a fullness…dissonant 02 br
02 br
00 The answer is C. I am a little confused here. I know there are only three choices suitable for the second blank: B. incompatible, C. inconsistent, E. dissonant. But why is only 'a mutability' right for 'of purpose'? What about "a fullness of purpose" or "a sense of purpose"? What clues make only "a mutability of purpose" right here? 02 br
