"The (i) _____ with which merchants and landowners in early-nineteenth-century Maryland and Virginia (i) _____ Joshua Johnston`s professional services attests to his artistic skill as a portrait painter."

Meaning: So the eagerness with his ppl demanded JJ's services attests to his skill as a painter.

A- Avid means eager and is therefore the correct fit here.
B- Diffidence means shyness. Illogical.
C- Disgust means aversion which is nearly an opposite. Incorrect.
D- Sought means to seek. Good fit. Correct.
E- Replaced means to put back and/or return. Illogical here.
F- Overlooked means fail to notice. Illogical.

We have the phrase "attests to his artistic skill as a portrait painter."

So the previous sentence fragment has to provide evidence for this phrase.

Only avidness and sought will provide the evidence that attests to his artistic skill as a portrait painter.
