Start with the second blank. If the pride "rendered her . . . sensitivity inaccessible," then what did it do to her feelings? A good prediction is "masked." Of the choices, the word closest in meaning is obscured. Now, move on to the first blank. What kind of tone would a letter have if the feelings are obscured? A good prediction is "guarded." Of the choices, the word closest in meaning is muted.
