Options

A. A)a-e
B. B)a-d & c-d
C. C)c-d
D. D)None of the given options

Answer

C

Explanation

The word ‘recent’ is an adjective. It needs a noun to modify. Thus, the first blank needs a noun. Thus, the possibility comes down to option a and c. In the second blank, a verb is needed as it talks about an idea or theory which depends on primacy of communicative activities in the classroom.
Thus, the word ‘rests’ fits in perfectly as it means ‘be based on, depend on.’ Out of all the combination of options given, option C is the correct one. In the first blank the word ‘theory’ fits and in the second blank the word ‘rests’ fits.
Option C is the correct answer.
