个人见解～我会首先看选项，cd同义，ae同义，肯定两组选一组。由于句子里面说a people long since wary of foreign influence. 就是大家对国外势力影响很警觉，the way an incursion by this same foreign power into the country's airspace说明又有国外势力入侵，那么AE表示愤怒的词汇会比较合适。

though表示前后对照。
前面说not foment outright protests，
所以后面应该表达的是foment outright protests，对应的两个词gall，rankle都是激怒
