Explanation
The trigger word and clue Although typically quite lucid in his explanations signals that his explanation in yesterday’s discussion was not very clear. So, you need words that mean unclear or hard to understand. Realistic means reasonable and benevolent means kind-hearted.
The word obvious has the opposite meaning of the word you need. Only correct answers abstruse and obscure, both of which mean hard to grasp, produce appropriate, equivalent sentences.
Hence options C and E are correct!
