OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answers are A and F.
Answer Blank (i): You need to find the answer that balances the word "passionately." You can eliminate choice B because "emotionally" is similar to "passionately," so choice B would be redundant. Choice C is incorrect because "prominently" means "noticeably, remarkably" and doesn't fit the sense or usage as well as choice A, "eloquently," meaning "articulately, vividly, movingly."
Answer Blank (ii): Sometimes, the simplest answer is the best answer. Choice F, "destruction," means "destroying, or having been destroyed." Choice D, "mutilation," means "to remove some essential part of a body, or to disfigure by damaging" and is usually used to refer to human disfigurement or disfiguring something like a statue. Choice E, "reparation," makes no sense because it means "making repairs or amends, or paying compensation."
