Answer 1

Answer: (A)

extent, unfolding

Option A is the appropriate choice for the blanks here, as 'extent' means 'the particular degree to which something is or is believed to be', while 'unfolding' here refers to 'event or information' which gradually develops to be revealed.

Option A is the correct answer.
