OEThis sentence is comparing two
“versions” of a product. The first blank requires a synonym of
“version,” such as
“iteration.” There’s a bit of a theme trap in
“ingenuity,” which means innovation or creativity. An
“implication” is either an insinuation or a consequence; neither makes sense in this context. The second blank describes a
“version” that is contrasting with the
“next iteration,” so that would logically be the previous one.
“Current” works well here (and
“obsolete” is too judgmental; it’s not outdated or out of production yet!). It might be true that the version is
“practical,” but the given sentence doesn’t suggest this additional meaning; if anything,
“refuse to purchase” disagrees with the idea of a practical version of the product.
