Choose the best word in place of ( I ) from the given passage
Answer: D
Correct answer: ancient
The sentence describes the earliest observers, who named the wandering lights, and in ancient times is the fixed phrase for that distant past. Antique is used of objects, past does not collocate with times in this way, and modern reverses the sense - the passage saves that word for the astronomers who came later.
