For all his ____________, Honore de Balzac betrayed a remarkable ____________ to the plight of 19th century women, populating his novels with characters sympathetic to women’s rights.
Blank (i)
affability
diffidence
boorishness
Blank (ii)
contemptuousness
sensitivity
obliviousness
我的逻辑是这样的,H的小说是同情妇女权益的,而这个思想betray了19世纪对妇女艰难处境的___,所以这空应该填obliviousness,忽视;第一个空就是affability。
答案正好相反,是boorishness和sensitivity

还有一个问题
To the senior manager, unsolicited opinions, even if the views expressed did not necessarily (i) ______________ his own views, were (ii)______________ ; thus, employees had learned to be (iii)______________ lest they no longer found themselves in his good graces.
Blank (i)
gel with
countermand
clash with
Blank (ii)
overt
nettlesome
welcome
Blank (iii)
reticent
sycophantic
elusive
我选的是clash with 、nettlesome、sycophantic
就是即使不冲突(not clash with)都不行,必须要拍马屁
而答案是clash with 、nettlesome、reticent;
再次感谢~
