The transition while and the juxtaposition of showing leniency and punishing ruthlessly indicate that leniency (mercy) was shown to those who did the opposite of remain defiant, so write down “not defiant” for the blank, and cross off answer choices that don’t match. Both complaisant and obeisant mean submissive (i.e. “not defiant”), so answer choices (B) and (C) are correct. Watch out for the distractor answer bellicose (warlike), which describes foes, but continues the direction of the clue (defiant) instead of changing it (as required by the transition while).
