Hi Mukesh,

Happy to clarify this sentence! The fact that many find it "strange" that the author's writing is considered tortuous indicates that her writing is actually the opposite of "tortuous". The second part of the sentence describes the actual writing style of the author's essays. So, the word in the blank should mean the opposite of tortuous, which is why "clear" is the best answer.

Hope this helps :)
