OE
A quick overview of the paragraph shows that its topic is the encouragement of invention and innovation. This implies that Blank (i) should be flled with “come through,” which emphasizes the importance of invention; the other choices suggest that invention is irrelevant or somehow harmed by growth. Again, the only one of the choices for Blank (ii) that continues the theme of encouraging invention is “aside from supporting.” Finally, the second sentence emphasizes the importance for innovation of a strong patent offce, and this thought is reaffrmed in the following quotation from Mr. Russell, which requires “protect” in Blank (iii).
Thus the correct answer is come through (Choice C), aside from supporting (Choice E), and protect (Choice H).
