Isnt this more double possibility than time contrast?
B1 = shaken/unshaken
B2 = tarnished/untarnished
B1 = shaken/unshaken
B2 = tarnished/untarnished
It’s time contrast here because the two states are characteristics from before and after an event/time period i.e before and after the false accusations
While we can also say this is a double possibility question for the same reasons you’ve identified
Looking at it either way, we identify that the first and second blank are contrasting
So the type of question doesn’t necessarily always have to be either or as long as you use these to guide you to the answer
It can’t be. You need to support “false allegations” with “by” so B1 must be negative.
Option A is correct?
yes
