The reasoning for eliminating C was that treacherous was not time sensitive (due to the “recent catastrophes”) however the correct answer, D, despicable is also not time sensitive and I feel like C could fit as a correct answer.
Apply Math strategy for the second blank
‘but’ indicates contrast
Idea 1 - denigration of the book (unfairly criticized ) has to be contrasted by idea 2
C) safeguards is not a good fit here
D) legitimizes contrasts idea 1
Also even for the first blank option D) makes more sense. morally despicable fits better than morally disloyal (treacherous)
