Blank #1 :
Ever the contrarian, Phillips, in his new book, suggests that the studies’ metrics are misguided : This sentence gives an idea that Phillips was against the opinion of the studies.
His (i)________ of the studies has perhaps founded a school of thought : His something related to study has resulted in changing the format of study. From these two sentences, we can understand that the blank must be something related to criticizing opinion and option choice C "disparagement" nicely matches the blank.
Blank #2 :but unsurprisingly, traditionalists have usually (ii)___________his viewpoints : The sentence preceding the highlighted text gives an idea that Phillips disparaging opinions have resulted in change of study that is his criticism might be right. The word but indicates that there is change in direction of the text. The traditionalists have different views to Phillips viewpoint and thus they are against his criticism. The choice that fits correctly is answer choice D "reprehend".
