Explanation
Blank (i): C. brazen out
The sentence contrasts poker, where opponents must infer the strength of a hand from a player's appearance, with chess, where all the pieces are visible.
-A. telegraph - to reveal or signal something unintentionally. This is the opposite of what a poker player wants to do with a weak hand.
-B. relinquish - to give up or surrender. This does not fit the context.
-C. brazen out - to face a difficult or embarrassing situation boldly, often without admitting the truth. A poker player can brazen out a feeble hand by acting confidently despite having weak cards.
Blank (ii): E. betrays
In chess, all the pieces are visible, so a mistake becomes apparent as soon as it is made.
-D. obscures - hides or makes something unclear; the opposite of the intended meaning.
-E. betrays - reveals or exposes something, often unintentionally. The board betrays a blunder by making the mistake visible.
-F. forestalls - prevents something from happening; a board cannot prevent a blunder from being made and revealed.
Answer: C,E
