Question

choose the word or words that, when inserted in the sentence to replace the blank or blanks, best fits the meaning of the sentence. because of the companys decision to roll out the new marketing strategy slowly, it was difficult to ____ its effectiveness, and the ____ of the new approach were not clear until almost a year later, when sales began to suffer. gauge ... metrics conceptualize ... results monitor ... virtues determine ... advantages measure ... limitations

Explanation:

The first blank needs a word meaning to assess or evaluate, and "measure" fits well as the slow - rollout made it hard to evaluate the strategy's effectiveness. The second blank makes sense with "limitations" as the drawbacks of the new approach became clear only when sales suffered.

Answer:

E. measure ... limitations
