Hi Sri...

The explanation of this question is not available right now.

I think first one has to be "images", Now the master image is I think something which is fundamental.

Puys... Any other answers??

I guess you are talking about the previous fill in the blanks right?

For that I don't see any other option which fits (1). If it was master___. then (e) could have been in contention. But it's masters (plural). After this the next blank is pretty much common sense.

[medulla]

yes I am talking about first FB (See the title)

I think even if it is a masters (which even i think should be master) the best fit is images. The next sentence talks about the images.
