The correct answers are B. pacific and D. conciliatory.
"Pacific" means peace-promoting, which fits the context of the novel being "profoundly" opposed to armed conquest, aligning with the anti-war theme of All Quiet on the Western Front.
"Conciliatory" means intended to pacify or reduce conflict, which also reflects the novel's tone of opposing war and violence.

C, E and F are out of context and A doesn't have the pair. B and D perfectly befit the detour and the change in the direction from the first half of the sentence. At the very outset, I was frustriated by %66 of respondents that gave wrong answer. I did not understand why they did since question doesn't seem to be that difficult.
