EXPLANATION

• In the given passage we have to write the omitted words to make sense of the passage.
• In the first sentence the word omitted is between 'dreamt' and 'conquering', the correct word is 'of'.
• Of is a preposition that is used to depict the relationship of part of the sentence to the whole of the sentence.
• The word omitted in the second sentence is between 'conquering' and 'whole'.
• The correct is 'The'. 'The whole of' is the phrase of the word 'whole'.
• The phrase 'The whole of' means to include every part, quantity, or extent of something(especially not a materialistic thing).
• The word omitted in the third part is between 'Persia' and 'just'.
• The correct word is 'in'.
• Prepositions 'in' and 'at' are also known as prepositions of time.
• The preposition 'in' is used for depicting long periods of time.
• 'At' is generally used before the word phrase- 'the age of '.
• In the last the word omitted is 'was'. Was is first and the third person past tense form of the verb 'be'.
• The past tense form of 'be' is used to represent known facts.

Hence, The omitted words in order are - of, at, the, in and was.
