Step-by-Step explanation of the answer:

To identify synonyms from the passage, we need to compare the words in each set and see if they have the same or similar meaning in the context of the passage. 🧐

• For example, in set c), the word domains means areas of activity or knowledge, and the word fields means the same thing. Therefore, they are synonyms. 👍
• Similarly, in set d), the word inevitable means certain to happen or unavoidable, and the word predetermined means decided in advance or fixed. Therefore, they are also synonyms. 👍
• However, in set a), the word reasoning means the process of thinking logically or rationally, and the word creativity means the ability to produce original or imaginative ideas or things. Therefore, they are not synonyms. 👎
• Likewise, in set b), the word fair means just or impartial, and the word transparent means clear or open. Therefore, they are not synonyms either. 👎
• Finally, in set e), the word culture means the customs, beliefs, arts, and values of a group of people, and the word society means the community or organization of people living together. Therefore, they are not synonyms as well. 👎
