Solution

The correct option is B readers' lack of interest in fiction containing many technical terms

In the above mentioned passage, the most appropriate answer for completing the sentence is Option B.

The passage describes Ray Bradbury, a well known name in the circuit of science fiction and thrillers. His work, The Martial Chronicle, is what made him leap into the winds of success at the age of thirty. The middle part of the passage states as to how Bradbury used to write using heavy jargons which attracted less readers. This must be primarily because of lack of knowledge on vocabulary as compared to Bradbury. Instead of being impressed with the tough words, the public got bored instead, as mentioned in Option B, as they were unable to comprehend what was actually written.

The other options A, C and D are wrong in stating what the phrase actually means as they are mentioned nowhere in the passage, and do not hold true.
