B, F You’re told that the magistrate “relented” (gave in) as a result of some action that the ambassador took. It’s unclear whether the ambassador used power or persuasion, so consider words such as insistence or plea. Both are good predictions. Both correct choices will mean one or the other. Choice (B) behest, “a strongly worded request,” works very well; a strongly worded request could induce someone to relent. Choice (F) urging creates a sentence similar to the one created by (B) behest. Those two are the correct answers. Choice (A) approbation means “approval,” which doesn’t make sense given that the ambassador seems to disapprove of the charges. Choice (C) ingenuousness means “frankness” or “naïvité” and does not fit the context of the sentence. Choice (D) delight also does not make sense in this context. Choice (E) circumlocution means “roundabout speech,” which is not typically very persuasive.
