Correct answer: void

Meaning: 'Void' means empty or containing nothing.
Wrong options:
limited: Limited suggests a restriction, which contradicts the idea of the mind being completely empty.
experience: Experience refers to knowledge gained through involvement, which does not fit the context of describing the mind's initial state.
derives: Derives is a verb that indicates obtaining something from a source, which does not describe the state of the mind.
sight: Sight refers to the ability to see, which is unrelated to the concept of the mind being empty.
revised: Revised implies something has been changed or edited, which does not apply to the initial state of the mind.
furnished: Furnished suggests being provided with something, which contradicts the idea of being empty.
useless: Useless implies a lack of purpose, but does not convey the idea of being devoid of content.
Correct answer: furnished
Explanation: The term 'furnished' is appropriate here as it indicates that the mind is provided with ideas or knowledge. This fits grammatically and contextually, as it follows the inquiry about how the mind becomes filled.
Meaning: 'Furnished' means to provide or supply with what is needed.
Wrong options:
limited: Limited does not fit as it suggests a restriction rather than the act of providing ideas.
experience: Experience is a noun that does not fit grammatically in this context, which requires a verb.
derives: Derives is a verb that does not fit the context of describing how the mind is filled with ideas.
sight: Sight is unrelated to the concept of the mind being filled with knowledge or ideas.

void: Void indicates emptiness, which contradicts the idea of the mind being filled with ideas.
useless: Useless does not convey the action of providing or filling the mind.
Correct answer: boundless
Explanation: The word 'boundless' fits grammatically and contextually as it describes the limitless nature of human imagination. It emphasizes the vastness of ideas that can be painted on the mind.
Meaning: 'Boundless' means limitless or infinite.
Wrong options:
limited: Limited contradicts the idea of vastness, suggesting a restriction instead of an abundance of ideas.
experience: Experience does not fit as it is a noun and does not describe the nature of imagination.
derives: Derives is a verb that does not describe the quality of the imagination being discussed.
sight: Sight is unrelated to the concept of imagination and does not fit in this context.

useless: Useless implies a lack of value, which contradicts the idea of a rich imagination.
Correct answer: experience
