Hi, Carcass can you explain why meticulous is not the right choice? Can't we answer straightforward questions with careful responses?

Although he founded an entire magazine about the art of the interview

Important part: Warhol founded a magazine about interviews BUT he was actually a subject reticent to interview

revealing little about his life and work

he said little details about his life

so C is the answer for the first blank


answers to straightforward questions.

And because he was laconic he gave NOT satisfactory answers I:E he was enigmatic, mysterious

F is the second blank

Let me know if now is more clear
