Below, a passage is given with five blanks labeled (A)-(E). Below the passage, five options are given for each blank. Choose the word that fits each blank most appropriately in the context of the passage, and mark the corresponding answer.

You were, perhaps, asked by your teacher why you opted for psychology over other subjects. What do you hope to learn?  Generally, the range of responses which _(A)_ in class to this question are truly bewildering. Most students give _(B)_ responses like they want to know what others are thinking. But then one also comes across such responses as knowing oneself, knowing others or more specific responses like knowing why people dream, why people go out of their way to help others or beat each other up.

Psychology studies behaviour, experience and mental processes. It seeks to understand and explain how the mind works and how different mental processes result in different behaviours. These behaviours may be simple or complex, short or _(C)_. Some behaviours are overt. They can be outwardly seen or sensed by an observer. Some are internal or _(D)_.

The blank (A) seeks a word that means appear. The author talks about the range of responses that appear in the class when the teacher asks the question.

Accomplish – to achieve something successfully

Forge – to build something strong and successful

These words are out of context, eliminating options 3 and 4.

If we use the word surface, it would mean the feeling or idea becomes obvious or known. Here, the responses surface (or emerge, appear, come to light) in class. This seems to fit in the passage as it conveys a suitable meaning, making option 2 correct.
