there are 2 synonym pairs
Candid and convivial ( meaning=lively, cheerful)
standoffish and uncongenial ( meaning=unfriendly)
From the prompt we can see that only 2nd pair makes sense as there is BUT which contrasts both parts of the sentence.
Hence B, D

We need a quality that is similar to wooden (lacking in emotion or energy), and the opposite of personable and thoughtful.
Clearly the options are standoffish and uncongenial.
The opposites of wooden are convivial and blithe (as in carefree and happy).
Candid means honest and sincere and portentous means something that signals a bad or unpleasant happening in the future. Both are irrelevant.
The answers are B and D.
