At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Roger: I agree that a new master bathroom would be nice to have, but I’m worried about the cost, especially with all the turmoil in your industry. I just don’t know that now is the right time to make a big investment when at any moment we could have to move for a new job. Wouldn’t we rather have that money in our savings account?
Mary: It’s true that I’m at least a little bit concerned about my job security these days, but trust me that I’ve considered all the likely outcomes. The best investment one can make in a home’s resale value is in the master bathroom. And if we don’t update our bathroom that could cost us quite a bit of money on the real estate market. So whether it’s a bathroom we can enjoy for years or not, regardless it will be a good investment.
Mary’s rebuttal to Roger is primarily about how ___1___ will be affected by ___2___.
Select for Blank 1 the option that best fills Blank 1 and for Blank 2 the option that best fills Blank 2 to create a logically-sound sentence.

Official Explanation
Mary's argument is concerned with the idea that, no matter whether they have to move for a new job or not, a new bathroom is a good idea because it will increase their home value. So she is concerned with the effect that a new bathroom will have on home value.
In these "fill in the two blanks" it is crucial that you pay particular attention to the way the blanks are arranged. Here in asking how Blank 1 will be affected by Blank 2, the question is saying that 2 is the cause and 1 is the result. You know that the cause is the bathroom, so that's Blank 2, and the result is the home value, so that's Blank 1.
Notice the importance of taking time to understand how Blank 1 and Blank 2 relate to each other. The majority of incorrect answers to this problem correctly recognize that Mary is interested in how a new bathroom will impact her home value, but they mix up the positions of the blanks. Let this be a lesson - be very careful in these "two blank" Two-Part questions to correctly interpret the relationship between the blanks.
