Since "the most stinging reviews are often meted out in the implicit hope", we can expect the intention of these reviews is to ensure that the author will correct his mistakes, the word for the second blank should be "correct" or "remedy" the word from the choice list is mitigate. Thus we can say that it will be a very bad idea for an author to ignore adverse criticism. Especially since one can agree that ignoring criticism does not bode well for an individual's artistic development. So the word from the choice list for the first blank is inured to.
