Two Answers |
A. glacial |
B. placid |
C. languorous |
D. spirited |
E. mettlesome |
F. insightful |
Belied his usually languid manner indicates that the man offered debate in a
not calm or
energetic manner.
Going through the options, A, B, and C can be eliminated since all these words pretty much mean being calm. F could be true but there is no synonym for it.
Hence, D and E are the answers.
