The Kane Crystals cluster described as dark and empty was which?

• A. Administration
• B. Marketing
• C. Agriculture
• D. Research

Answer: (A)

Describing a cluster as dark and empty evokes a place focused on coordination, control, and behind-the-scenes work—traits that align with Administration. Administration handles paperwork, policy, scheduling, and oversight rather than outward-facing activities, so a quiet, unused or unused-feeling space fits this role well. The other options imply more visible, energetic work: Marketing tends to be active and outward-facing, Research suggests ongoing exploration and experiments, and Agriculture implies growth and bustle. So Administration best matches the mood of “dark and empty.”
