In the following question, few sentences are given with two blanks in each. Select the pair of words that best completes both blanks in all the
sentences, ensuring the sentences remain grammatically correct and contextually appropriate.

(I) Analysts warn that deepfake campaigns ________ public trust, yet some regulators _________ existing laws will be enough to deter abuse.

(II) If AI hiring models ___________ to encode bias, we must not ________ that transparency dashboards alone will solve the problem.

(III) While rogue chatbots seldom _____________ critical systems directly, engineers should never ________ safety until red-team tests are complete.

The correct pair of words to fill in the blanks is threaten, presume.

Step-by-Step Analysis:

Let's analyze how the chosen pair fits logically and grammatically into each of the given sentences:

Sentence (I):
"Analysts warn that deepfake campaigns threaten public trust, yet some regulators presume existing laws will be enough to deter abuse."

• First blank: "threaten" (verb) correctly expresses the danger deepfake campaigns pose to public trust.
• Second blank: "presume" (verb) fits contextually to mean assuming or taking for granted that current laws are sufficient despite warnings.

Sentence (II):
"If AI hiring models threaten to encode bias, we must not presume that transparency dashboards alone will solve the problem."

• First blank: "threaten" is used in the sense of posing a threat or danger of encoding bias.
• Second blank: "presume" fits the context of not naively assuming/supposing that transparency dashboards are enough to fix the issue.

Sentence (III):
"While rogue chatbots seldom threaten critical systems directly, engineers should never presume safety until red-team tests are complete."

• First blank: "threaten" functions appropriately to mean compromising or imperiling critical systems.
• Second blank: "presume" accurately conveys that engineers must not take safety for granted without thorough testing.

Why Other Options are Incorrect:

• extinct, roll: Grammatically and contextually improper for these sentence structures.
• secure, fraction: "Secure" contradicts the negative/warning tone of the sentences, and "fraction" is a noun that does not fit as a verb in the second blank.
• creates, perform: "Creates" is singular, while the subject "deepfake campaigns" is plural, creating a subject-verb agreement error. Furthermore, "perform" does not make sense contextually in the second blanks.
