1. The first blank should be parallel to "scholarly life afforded its adherents a fresh perspective". While misanthropy (negative in tone) is clearly out, erudition and consummation is a close fit. While consummation will also mean showing skill, erudition will make the scholar more learned. Only the latter makes more close fit.
2. The second blank should be parallel to "obsession". While adept is clearly not coherent, inured is too negative - hardened. Consumed with is the better option
