29, 26, 34, 37, 44, 52,...,...., 79, 94
A 54, 60
b59, 71
C 60, 65
d70, 71
e71,79

The sequence provided is:

29, 26, 34, 37, 44, 52, ..., ..., 79, 94

To find the pattern, let's examine the differences between the terms:

1. \(26 - 29 = -3\)
2. \(34 - 26 = 8\)
3. \(37 - 34 = 3\)
4. \(44 - 37 = 7\)
5. \(52 - 44 = 8\)

The differences are: -3, 8, 3, 7, 8

It is not immediately obvious if this sequence follows a simple arithmetic or geometric pattern. Given the nature of the differences, the sequence appears somewhat irregular.

Let's try to fit the options given to see which set of values fits best into the two missing terms:

1. \( 52, 54, 60, 79, 94 \)
   - Differences: \( 54 - 52 = 2 \), \( 60 - 54 = 6 \), \( 79 - 60 = 19 \)
   - This set does not fit the pattern.

2. \( 52, 59, 71, 79, 94 \)
   - Differences: \( 59 - 52 = 7 \), \( 71 - 59 = 12 \), \( 79 - 71 = 8 \)
   - This set does not fit the pattern.

3. \( 52, 60, 65, 79, 94 \)
   - Differences: \( 60 - 52 = 8 \), \( 65 - 60 = 5 \), \( 79 - 65 = 14 \)
   - This set does not fit the pattern.

4. \( 52, 70, 71, 79, 94 \)
   - Differences: \( 70 - 52 = 18 \), \( 71 - 70 = 1 \), \( 79 - 71 = 8 \)
   - This set does not fit the pattern.

5. \( 52, 71, 79, 94 \)
   - Differences: \( 71 - 52 = 19 \), \( 79 - 71 = 8 \), \( 94 - 79 = 15 \)
   - This set fits best.

Since this set (71, 79) seems to follow an understandable increment that fits well with the latter part of the sequence, it would likely be:

e) \( 71, 79 \)
