Why isn't blank 1 incisive? Incisive means sharp or clear thinking which works well with biting commentary.


Sharp and clear thinking can be done in any type of commentary.

Although Caroline Gordon was rigorously objective in her journalistic writing, her lively and (i) _____ private correspondence (i) _____ a delightful capacity for biting commentary on the social scene.


The conjunction "and" demands a synonym of lively and hence exuberant is the right choice.

The word "Although" contrasts her journalistic writing and private correspondence. If one was objective, the other has to be subjective or exhibit her personal point of view.

Hence exhibited is the right choice.
