Critics who dismiss the poet's earliest cycle of sonnets as mere apprentice work overlook something the poems themselves make plain on close reading: even here, well before the mature sequences that made her reputation, they already _____ the same restless preoccupation with mortality that would come to define her later work.

Explanation
The two best answers are A. manifest and F. exhibit.
manifest = clearly show or demonstrate.
“they already manifest the same restless preoccupation with mortality...”
exhibit = display or show a quality or characteristic.
“they already exhibit the same restless preoccupation...”
Both preserve the meaning that the early poems already show the concern with mortality that characterizes the later work.
Answer: A and F.
