OE
The clues here, intrepidity (the noun form of intrepid, meaning brave) and normally, along with the transition, might not otherwise,indicate that the word in the blank means the opposite of brave. Write down "cowardly" and look for incorrect answers to eliminate. Mettlesome and plucky mean brave—the opposite of the predicted answer—so cross off (B) and (D).ingenious(brilliant) and impudent (rude) also don't match "cowardly;" eliminate (C) and (E) as well. That leaves the synonyms pusillanimous and recreant(both of which mean "cowardly") as the correct answers; (A) and (E) are the credited responses.
