Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

A. developed . . an intricate
B. resulted . . a complicated
C. evolved . . a quaint
D. degenerated . . an obsolescent
E. differed . . an exotic
正确答案:C
解析:
The phrase “through the centuries” suggests that the first missing term will describe how the “sophisticated piece of technology” developed over a period of time. The word “such” indicates that the second missing term will contrast with “sophisticated.” Only “evolved . . a quaint” satisfies both requirements.
