the first blank talks of -
1) people welcomed as friends - so we are talking of people not staying at that place
2) the second part talks of this people as - those who were traveling through the harsh, arid environment. - so people are moving around
Sojourners means exactly the same - people residing for a temporary period
the second blank-
1) grounded in religious belief - so something that is believed to be true
Sacrosant fits in exactly
B, E
