The 2nd part of the sentence points to the coach’s rebuke is how he treated the players, therefore we should find 2 words about verbal abuse.

A and B have the same meaning to treat s.o gently, satisfy other, no they’re not the answers.

C, D have the meaning to weaken, they’re more about physical abuse.

E, F have the meaning to scold, same meaning with the keyword “rebuke”.

=> Choice E, F
