The Tasmanian devil is not considered (i) _________ , since only a few of its confrontations with
humans have been (ii) _________ .
Blank (i) Blank (ii)
adverse premature
menacing quixotic
unpredictable unprovoked
The second blank is obvious but the first blank is debatable I think. in my opinion, unpredictable work fine as well because double negative is positive. not considered unpredictable is considered predictable because it attacks human more often.

I would say that the answers are "unpredictable" and "unprovoked" because of the fact that Tasmanian devil's attacks are rarely unprovoked means that they are expected, since it attacks only if provoked.
