Answer
- Cartography
- Topographical
The contextual clues of the sentence reveal that we’re looking for words that are related to maps, so when considering Blank (i), we’d look at the skill or art of mapmaking, which is called cartography. Similarly, for Blank (ii), we’d be looking for a kind of map that would make sense to be created three-dimensionally, which is a topographical (elevation) map. Although macramé is an art, it involves textiles and knots and is not related to maps. Because drafting can refer to numerous artistic and technical practices, it is too broad for this specific situation. Street maps, showing roads, and heat maps, showing properties over different areas, are not as natural a fit for being three-dimensional.
Select one answer choice for each blank.
The art of (i) ______________ likely began on cave walls, expanding to two-dimensional paper maps and, eventually, three-dimensional (ii) _____________ maps.
- (i) macramé
- (i) drafting
- (i) cartography
- (ii) topographical
- (ii) street
- (ii) heat
