Explanation
You need a word for the blank that means that Joseph was the model of composure. Both quintessence and epitome would mean he is a perfect embodiment of composure, so choices (A) and (D) produce equivalent sentences that make sense. Bane would mean he somehow annoys composure, and is incorrect. Rector would mean Joseph is the priest or academic leader of composure, and antithesis would mean he proves the opposite of composure; eliminate choices (C) and (E). Regent would mean he is the king ruling over composure, so eliminate choice (F).
Hence options A dnd D are correct!
