The answers are A and F.
The phrase "notwithstanding" implies a contrast or exception. It suggests that despite something (in this case, his speaking style), he is perceived as the moderate face of his political party.
Among the given options, both "fiery" and "impassioned" would create a contrast with being seen as a moderate face. Both words suggest a more intense, emotionally charged, or forceful speaking style, which contradicts the notion of being moderate.
