Support Contrast Skill building Verbal

I didn’t understand for the first blank why the anwser is “.” and for second blank its “afforded”
what i think it should be the reverse

The _________ of the royal court afforded authorities sufficient _________ for interference. Isabella, the new queen, _________ and depraved, engendered much instability.

Please explain your reasoning, thanks!"

because the whole second line starting from Isabella helps to solve the second blank

What words do you think would fill the blanks?

For the second blank i think it would be like “Power” or “Allowance”, For the first blank it has to be something +ve i couldn’t able to came up with the word.

Okay how did you come up with the word “allowed” or “powered”?

Because the queen is producing instability so the royal court afforded authorities allowance for interference.

Good so the word “afforded” is what tells you B2 should support the first half. And you know that the queen is producing instability due to supporting the idea of “engendered much stability” from supporting the “.”

yup oohk got it
