Directions (9-13): In each of the following questions one sentence has been given. Each sentence has two blanks. From the options given below the sentence, pick the pair of words that fits into both the blanks respectively to make the sentence contextually meaningful and mark the letter corresponding to it as your answer.

Poetry is ________________ of ________________spiritual freedom, both, as concentrated inwardness, and as action in space and time.

The correct answer is capable, showing.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Analyze the context of the sentence:
The sentence discusses the nature and function of poetry, describing it in relation to "spiritual freedom" which manifests as both "concentrated inwardness" and "action in space and time".

2. Evaluate the first blank:
The first blank requires an adjective that links "Poetry" to the preposition "of". The phrase "capable of" is a standard grammatically correct expression meaning having the ability or capacity to do or achieve something. Options like "nominal", "neglected", or "similar" do not fit grammatically or contextually with "of" in this sense.

3. Evaluate the second blank:
The second blank takes a gerund following the preposition "of". "Showing" fits naturally to express demonstrating or manifesting spiritual freedom through inwardness and action.

4. Reconstruct the complete sentence:
"Poetry is capable of showing spiritual freedom, both, as concentrated inwardness, and as action in space and time."

This pair makes the sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful.
