Wait, 'Unimaginable'? Is this a trick question or something? I'm going with 'Intangible' and 'Inseparable' - that's the most logical choice, right?

Ooh, 'Unimaginable'? I'm going to guess that's not the right answer. Let's stick to the basics - 'Intangible' and 'Inseparable' seem like the way to go.

Permeable? I'm not sure how that's relevant to procurement. I think 'Variable' and 'Inseparable' are the best choices here.

I think 'Permeable' is just a distractor, it doesn't really fit.

Perishable? I didn't realize we were ordering catering services. I'm going with 'Intangible' and 'Inseparable'.

Yeah, 'Perishable' seems out of place. 'Intangible' and 'Inseparable' are definitely more relevant.
