밑줄 친 ⓐ~ⓝ 중에서 어법상 어색한 것의 개수는?

There was once a king who wanted to know three things: the right time to do everything, the most necessary people to pay attention to, and the most important thing to do. He thought that knowing these things would ensure his success. He announced that he would reward anyone who could teach him these things. Many people traveled to his palace, but they all provided different answers to his questions. ⓐ Regarding the first question, some said that the king should make a detailed schedule so that he could always know the perfect time to do everything. Others claimed that he should take every situation into account and wait for the precise moment to act. Still others suggested that he ⓑ consulted wise men. Equally various ⓒ were the answers to the second question. Some said that the members of the king's council were the most important people, while others mentioned priests, doctors, or warriors. In response to the third question, some replied that science was the most important thing, whereas others insisted that it ⓓ was war or religious worship. The king was not ⓔ pleased with any of the answers. Still ⓕ wished to find the best answers to his questions, the king decided to visit an old hermit who was famous for his wisdom. The hermit lived in a forest and met only ordinary folk, so the king disguised himself as a simple peasant. He ordered his bodyguards to stay behind while he went on alone to seek out the hermit. Reaching the hermit's hut, the king found the old man ⓖ digging in his garden. The hermit greeted the king and continued ⓗ digging. The king said, "I have come here to ask you three questions. How can I learn the right time to do everything? Whom do I most need to pay attention to? Finally, what is the most important thing to do?" The hermit listened carefully but declined ⓘ to respond. "You must be tired," the king said. "Let me help you with that." The hermit thanked him, handing the king his spade. The king worked for a long time while the hermit watched him ⓙ silently. Eventually, as the sun was setting, the king stopped and said, "I came to you for answers to my questions. If you can give me none, please let me know so that I can return home." "Someone is running toward us," the hermit said. "Let's see who it is." The king turned and saw a man ⓚ running out of the woods. When the man reached the king, he ⓛ felled down. The king could see blood flowing from a large wound in his stomach. The king washed and bandaged the wound, and then he and the hermit carried the man into the hut. The man closed his eyes and fell asleep. Because he was completely exhausted, the king also ⓜ laid down and slept. When he awoke in the morning, the man was staring at him.

윗글 (B)의 빈칸 (a), (b)에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은?

( A ) Towering over the East River, the Brooklyn Bridge is one of New York City's famous landmarks. Nowadays, many people take it for granted, but back in the 1800s it was something people only dreamt of. The bridge's construction cost more than $320 million in today's money and the lives of over two dozen people. In particular, the family in charge of the project paid a high price to create the impressive bridge we all know and love today. This is the story of how the Roeblings built the Brooklyn Bridge. ( B ) In the 1860s, the populations of Manhattan and Brooklyn were rapidly increasing, and so was the number of the commuters between them. Thousands of people relied on boats and ferries to cross the East River daily. ______(a)______, these modes of transportation were unreliable and frequently disrupted by adverse weather conditions. Many New Yorkers desired a bridge directly connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn, as it promised a faster and safer commute. Regrettably, the wide expanse and turbulent waters of the East River posed substantial challenges for building anything on it. ______(b)______, it was a very busy river at that time, with hundreds of ships constantly sailing on it. ( C ) Any bridge over the river would need to be a very high suspension bridge. Considering the limited technology in those days, building such a bridge seemed impossible. That is, people thought it was impossible until John Roebling, an expert at building suspension bridges, accepted the challenge. ( D ) John proposed the use of steel cables—instead of iron ones—that would be six times stronger than needed to support the bridge. In addition, he planned to build two large stone towers to hold up the bridge's road and allow people to walk across it. If his ideas worked, the final result would be the longest, strongest suspension bridge ever built. John's ambition inspired people, so construction began in 1869. However, he was involved in a ferry accident later that year and died of an infection not long after. It looked like his ambitious plan was destined to fail shortly after it had been launched. ( E ) Luckily, John's role as chief engineer was succeeded by his son, Washington Roebling. Because he had built bridges with his father and studied bridge construction in Europe, he believed in John's dream. At that time, the foundations for the bridge's two towers were being built in the East River, which was extremely difficult and dangerous work. Workers had to stay at the bottom of the river in a waterproof box with little light and constant danger. Many died or were permanently injured by a serious disease called "*the bends," including Washington Roebling. In 1872, he developed this disease and was unable to move easily or visit the construction sites throughout the rest of the project. ( F ) Other people would have quit at that point, but not Washington. He continued to supervise the bridge building for years by watching it through a telescope from his bedroom. However, there were still many things he could not do despite all his efforts. Once again, the project seemed likely to be abandoned. ( G ) To everyone's amazement, yet another Roebling stepped in to save the bridge. This time, it was Washington's wife, Emily Warren Roebling. She believed in what her family had started, and she was determined to see it through. Before marriage, she knew almost nothing about engineering. As her husband's health failed, though, Emily began passing his instructions to the assistant engineers and bringing back their construction reports. In the process, she naturally picked up a lot of information about bridge building. With his assistance, she also studied higher mathematics and engineering so hard that she became an expert in them without ever going to college! ( H ) By the time the bridge was finished in 1883, Emily was carrying out many of the chief engineer's duties, which was unprecedented for a woman in those days. Many people praised her contributions to the project, and she became the first person to cross the bridge. It was the moment she, Washington, John, and everyone else who built the bridge had worked so hard for.
