OE
The key phrase here is “the inertia of history.” Inertia is resistance to change, so this phrase must mean that history is on track and can’t deviate from that track. So your blank here should be something like unchangeable.
Incontrovertible (not able to be denied or disputed), interminable (endless), infallible (incapable of making mistakes or being wrong), and unspeakable (not able to be expressed in words; too horrible to express in words) have no relationship.
Answer: A,E
