【正确答案】
1、domesticated, salubrious.
【答案解析】First blank: The only word that fits the context of the sentence is domesticated; note that the text states that emus live on farms. Second blank: Salubrious means "healthful," which is what a domesticated animal might find life on a farm to be. Palliative means "tending to soothe," which isn't quite the right relationship; nugatory means "minor or insignificant." Sanguine means "cheerful," which the emu is not particularly, while splenetic means "full of rage"—also a bit too anthropomorphic for this particular avian species.
