Johnson nevert ___ to ignore the standards of decent conduct mandated by company policy if ___ compliance with instructions from his superiors enabled him to do so, whatever the effects on his subordinates.
(i) A.attempted B.sccrupled C.wished
(ii) D.tacit E.direct F.literal
由最后一句 "whatever the effects on his subordinates." 可知对 Johnson 的评价为负评价,因此第一空填 B "从不为违反公司规定感到不安"。结合句意,第二空似乎可以填 tracit "缄默" ."只要他上级默许他违反公司规定,不管对他下属照成什么影响,他都不会感到不安"
