Explanation:

Analyze the first passage and blank

Using the Reading Comprehension and Information Extraction knowledge points, we compare the text in section C with the fill-in-the-blank prompt C.
The source text states: "For you must picture that, while the Great Khan rides out hawking with his barons across the open country, then packs of these hounds are to be seen advancing on either side, hunting bears and stags and other beasts, so that it is truly a fine sight to see."
The prompt C reads: "You must picture what ________ it is to see the Great Khan riding out hawking with his barons, and see the packs of hounds advancing on either side."
By matching the structure, the phrase "it is truly a fine sight to see" corresponds to "what [a fine sight] it is to see". Thus, the missing words are "a fine sight".

Analyze the second passage and blank

Using the Textual Evidence and Information Extraction knowledge points, we compare the text in section D with the fill-in-the-blank prompt D.
The source text states: "These two brothers are bound by covenant' to provide the Great Khan's court every day, beginning in October and continuing to the end of March, with a thousand head of game, including both beasts and birds, except quails, and also fish to the best of their ability, reckoning as the equivalent of one head as much fish as would make a square meal for three persons."
The prompt D reads: "A covenant ________ with a thousand head of game, including beasts and birds, or fish, every day from October through March. [2]"
The source text says the brothers are "bound by covenant' to provide...".
Matching this passive structure to the prompt "A covenant [to provide the Great Khan's court]" or "binds them to provide" fits the grammatical flow. Looking closely at the prompt: "A covenant ________ with a thousand head of game...", the active verb phrase that connects "covenant" to the provision is "to provide the Great Khan's court" or "binds them to provide". Let's look at the exact words: "bound by covenant' to provide the Great Khan's court".
If we fill in "binds them to provide the Great Khan's court", it completes the sentence: "A covenant binds them to provide the Great Khan's court with a thousand head of game...".
Alternatively, "obliges them to provide the Great Khan's court" or "requires them to provide the Great Khan's court" works. Let's use the direct vocabulary from the text: "binds them to provide the Great Khan's court".
