OE
The sentence describes the variable courses of three different societies afer the beginning of a transition, and the blank characterizes the differences among these courses. While “rural” and “quotidian” may describe a common quality of each course, they do not emphasize their variability. And while the words “novel” and “unfamiliar” are alike in meaning, they do not ft the context, since one of the paths taken (sticking to foraging) is precisely neither novel nor unfamiliar.
Thus the correct answer is divergent (Choice A) and disparate (Choice E).
