While taller wind turbines would allow more areas of the country to provide cost-effective alternative energy, there are several (i) ___________ that engineers are currently facing while trying to build such turbines. Taller towers necessitate (ii) ___________ bases, requiring the current width to be nearly doubled. This leads to (iii) ___________ issue: these wider sections would be too large to travel on modern highways, meaning that the taller turbines would need to be constructed at the location where they are to eventually stand.
| Blank (i) | Blank (ii) | Blank (iii) |
| A. flaws | D. equitable | G. a concomitant |
| B. supplements | E. unobtrusive | H. a theoretical |
| C. complications | F. stouter | I. an objective |

OE
The first sentence says that taller turbines would be better, but there is some contrasting negative element. In other words, the “engineers are facing” some “complications.” Neither “flaws” nor “supplements” conveys this idea of difficulty in building the turbines. In the second sentence, “Taller towers necessitate _________ bases, requiring the current width to be nearly doubled,” suggests that the second blank should mean wider. The only choice for the second blank that can mean “wider” is “stouter.” “Equitable,” meaning fair, and “unobtrusive” do not mean anything like “wider.” The final sentence says that the wider sections lead “to a(an) _________ issue” because they are too large to transport on modern highways. Therefore, the third blank has to mean something like additional. Although “a theoretical issue” has a nice sound to it, the problem is very real, so “theoretical” cannot be correct. “Objective” used as an adjective means unbiased, which does not fit the intended meaning. “Concomitant,” which means accompanying (often in a subordinate way), matches well.
Answer: C,F,G
