For the first blank, the clue is of course that many industries are facing challenges - government sanctions, equipment failure, and foreign competition. So, I guess the word will be - facing difficulties.
For the second blank, the clue is industrial psychologists. So, I guess the psychologists must be saving morale because the industries are finding difficulties.
Therefore, for the first blank, I must eliminate overruled, which means cancelled, and encouraged, which is opposite. The best fit is B.
For the second blank, I must eliminate determined, which cannot fit with to, and undermine, which is opposite. The best fit is F.
Hence, my answer is B, F.
