Explanation:

- In blank (1), the word "Relate" suggests that something is being described or conveyed. "Comic things" should be set against a "pompous fashion," emphasizing a contrast between humor and formality.

- For blank (2), the word surrounding "beauty" indicates a quality that beauty possesses "essential to and characteristic of beauty," suggests something inherent.

- The word "blend" in blank (3) indicates a mixture, so "the blend of the grotesque and the tragic" aligns two differing elements combined for effect.

- The phrase in blank (4) "and translate it" refers to converting something, so "imagine a canvas for a lyrical, magical farce, for a pantomime, and translate it into a serious novel" implies transformation.

- In blank (5), the words "abnormal atmosphere" benefit from an adjective that conveys a sense of unreality or artistic ambiance. "Dreamy" conveys this ethereal, surreal quality, fitting the context best.

Therefore, the correct answer for blank number 5 is:

Option 3: dreamy
