It had long been presumed that stone tool-making was a hallmark of our ______________, Homo. _______________,the recent discovery, in northwestern Kenya, of 3.3-million-year-old stone tools that are 7,00,000 years older than any other such stone tools ever found suggests it was the more ancient human ancestors who made the cognitive leap needed for crafting such implements.
The word Homo after the blank tells us that the correct answer for this blank is genus, not genius.

Even in the____________ Nordic countries, household chores are still not evenly distributed, but at least the language is changing.

The opening word "even in" the Nordic countries leads us to egalitarian as the right choice for this blank which means “democratic” & the other choices "elitist" and "prejudiced" don’t fit in. Non-partisan also means unprejudiced hence is not appropriate here.

It is __________________ rhetoric that the government "shutdown" was devastating. In actuality only seventeen percent of the federal government was actually shutdown as a result of partisan _______________.
