Concept: In the questions where the blanks have to be filled with degrees of adjectives, it's obligatory for us to know the number of effects being compared to each other.
We know that adjectives have three degrees of comparison, the Positive degree is used to give an affirmative statement, the relative degree is used to draw a discrepancy between two people or effects, and the superlative or the loftiest degree of comparison is used when multiple realities are compared.
In the first blank, the use of the definite composition' the' suggests we need to use the superlative degree of the adjective, so the answer will be oldest'. And with this explanation, we can exclude the first two options as they don't have ‘ oldest ’ as an option C and option D.
Now, in the alternate blank, we see the use of as. As' structure requires the use of a positive degree of adjective so the answer for the alternate blank is' innocent ’.
And hence with these two druthers, we have the correct answer as option C, because option D has the relative degree of an adjective in the alternate blank.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
