The ambassador refused to intensify his already abusive words. So he continued to incense the audience.

A question with little sense to me.

I think the answer should be B, F.

The ambassador refused to reduce the intensity of (moderate) his vituperative words, which further angered (incensed) the members.

I agree with ChiGRE.

In order for the members of the committee to get angry, the ambassador should refused to moderate the vituperative words.
Moreover, in Blank (i), choice A and C are similar. Therefore, either of them can be a correct choice and because we have to choose only one choice, choice B has to be our appropriate choice.

Agree.

The OAs have been changed into B and F

Nonetheless, it still remains a dull question.

Sentence can be summarized As ambassador was not willing to appease his contentious, angry, words. It only helped to make members of committee angry the further.
So the best options are moderate and incensed.

Vituperative is already is a word on the harsher side so from the sentence --> Refusing to XXXXXX will tone down the stance. --> Option B
Usage of but indicate that the harsher side is further exacerbated --> Option F

Hence, BF is the Answer.
