"When I come home from a hard day’ s work, I often feel 【C18】______ ," Danaher says, adding, "In a world in which I don ’ t have to work, I might feel rather different"—perhaps different enough to throw himself 【C19】______ a hobby or a passion project with the intensity usually reserved for 【C20】______ matters.
