问题 At nearly 450 pages, the novel is______: the author does not often resist the temptation to finish off a chapter, section, or even paragraph with some unnecessary flourish.
A instructive
B complex
C prolix
D educational
E long-winded
F explicit

选项

答案C,E

解析 The words that fill the blank in must convey that the novel is not merely long but also contains numerous portions deemed unnecessary. While it may be "instructive" and "educational" these do not properly describe the novel’s length. While "complex" and "explicit" may correlate with(though not characterize)length, they do not produce sentences with the same meaning.
Thus the correct answer is prolix(Choice C)and long-winded(Choice E).
