churlish means indeed rude. This opinion is false, they have this impression of him at glance but indeed it is not.

False is the right fit for the second blank.

Should have written it 'falsely' instead of false to make sense in the example

is this sentence a valid one ? how can be false perceive?

Most important part of the question I think is "recognition" which is used for positive things and "while" with often should make you sense there is a detour. i.e., something must be opposite to what has been done in the first part of the sentence, which is false or "mistakenly".

I hope this helps out.

Re: Howards friends recognize that his nervous [#permalink]

The sentence is discussing how Howard behaves when meeting strangers. His friends understand that his nervous behavior hides (belies) his true nature, which is sociable (gregarious). However, people who don't know him well (new acquaintances) often misinterpret his nervous behavior and see him as unfriendly (churlish).

Blank (i) Options:
Chatter (A):
Meaning: Continuous, fast-paced talking.
This doesn't fit well because chatter indicates a lot of talking, which wouldn't usually hide gregariousness.

Silences (B):

Meaning: Periods of not speaking.
This fits well because nervous silences can hide someone's true sociable nature.

Banter (C):
Meaning: Playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks.
This doesn't fit as well because banter suggests sociability rather than nervousness.

Blank (ii) Options:

False (D):
Meaning: Incorrect or not true.
This fits well because new acquaintances often wrongly perceive him as churlish.

Accurately (E):
Meaning: Correctly or precisely.
This doesn't fit because the acquaintances' perception is not accurate.

Quickly (F):
Meaning: With speed.
This could fit in the sense that they form their perceptions quickly, but it doesn't convey the incorrectness of their perception as clearly as "false."

Most Appropriate Choices:
For Blank (i): Silences (B)
For Blank (ii): False (D)
