In the passage given below there are five blanks, each of which has been numbered. Against each number five words are suggested, of which one fits the blank appropriately. Find out the appropriate word in each case. The checklist is a __(55)__ instrument, and that is precisely its virtue. It assumes nothing whatever about the intelligence of the person who uses it; it assumes only that memory is __(56)__ under pressure, and that the steps most often omitted are the ones that appear too obvious to be written down. A good checklist is short, and it is __(57)__ at exactly those points at which an error would be hardest to undo. Institutions that resist it commonly do so out of pride, treating the list as a __(58)__ upon professional judgement rather than as a support for it. The evidence, tedious and consistent, is that the list __(59)__ the number of errors without costing anything worth having.
