Explanation

The series has two interleaved patterns. Odd positions (1,3,5,7,9): 2, 5, 9, 14, ? with differences +3, +4, +5. The next difference should be +6, so 14+6 = 20. Even positions (2,4,6,8,10): 7, 9, 11, 13, ? with constant difference +2. The next term is 13+2 = 15. Therefore the missing terms are 20, 15 in that order.
