d each brothers 10,000 subordinates wear liveries of different colors, one brothers ____ and the others ____, whenever they accompany the great khan in the chase.

Explanation:

Analyze paragraph C

The source text in paragraph C states: "among his barons there are two brothers in blood who are named Bayan and Mingan. They bear the title kuyukchi, that is to say, keepers of the mastiffs."
The fill-in-the-blank sentence for C is: "The Great Khan's hounds are kept by two of his barons, the brothers Bayan and Mingan, [blank]."
Based on the text, the missing information describes their title or role, which is "who bear the title kuyukchi, keepers of the mastiffs" or "who are named keepers of the mastiffs". Looking at the space and structure, "who bear the title kuyukchi, keepers of the mastiffs" fits perfectly to complete the description of the brothers.

Analyze paragraph D

The source text in paragraph D states: "Each of them has 10,000 subordinates, who all wear livery of one colour; and the other 10,000 all wear another colour. The two colours are scarlet and blue."
The fill-in-the-blank sentence for D is: "Each brother's 10,000 subordinates wear liveries of different colors, one brother's [blank] and the other's [blank], whenever they accompany the Great Khan in the chase."
Based on the text, the two specific colors worn by the subordinates of each brother are "scarlet" and "blue". Therefore, the first blank should be filled with "scarlet" and the second blank with "blue" (or vice versa).
