Official Answers: C and D.
The key word "admirably" indicates that an admirable quality should fill the blank. It also should be a quality that fits the bill for allowing an underling to get the credit for joint work. "Generous" would be a good prediction. The best matches are magnanimous and gracious. Mendacious ("habitually dishonest") does not make sense in this context. Restrained, effusive, and cooperative are all somewhat plausible in the sentence but do not have a partner that creates an equivalent sentence.
The correct answers are (C) and (D).
