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 the effectiveness of the marketing strategy, and "measure" fits well. The second - blank should be something that becomes clear later, and since sales began to suffer, "limitations" makes sense as it indicates the drawbacks of the new approach.

Answer:

E. measure ... limitations
