Explanation
The sentence says these educators believe music training should only develop cognitive skills. Therefore, they would reject any goal focused on emotional expressiveness or aesthetic sensitivity as lacking justification or foundation.
Both words fit that idea:
unwarranted-----> not justified or not called for
groundless------> lacking a basis or foundation
A. unparalleled: means unmatched, unrelated to justification
C. edifying: means morally/intellectually uplifting (positive, opposite tone)
E. auspicious: favorable or promising, unrelated
F. unprecedented: never done before, not about legitimacy
Answer: B,D
