OFFICIAL EXPLANATION

The correct answers are A and D.

Sultry means "excessively hot or humid," which matches the "cloying humidity" mentioned in Sentence 2; therefore, choice A is correct. You can eliminate choices B and C, because neither "unsettled" nor "bone-chilling" suggests excessive humidity. Choice D is the correct answer for the second blank, as sap means "to exhaust" or "to deplete." This is the only answer that makes sense in the context of lessening physical energy or moral fortitude. Choices E and F, beguile and intensify, make no sense.
