Starting today we "ll conduct an experiment. I did not open an official discussion just for this specific reason. I will post once or two times per week a verbal question on the hard side: could be a TC,SE, or an RC passage.I will continue based on the kudos received, the feedback if these will be good questions and as close as possible to the real GRE. When you look at these questions, you should be like you are looking at a question in the Official Guides or the Powerprep FREE software.
No hassles, or confusing options, no debatable OAs or inconsistency.

Moving between didactic speechifying on the (i) _______ importance of true grit and extended longueurs of Westwood (ii) ______ through the pretty Mexican twilight, the film suggests that machismo and daring are worthless values when weaponized toward hollow, stupid ends. A man should always know when to throw a punch—and when to pull one.

The sense of the sentence is a sort of reflection by the author, hanging in the balance between the past and the actual soul state.
He reflects on the waning of the toughness with a slow but secure though walking
A and D are the only answers logically that fit the bill.

i feel that the first blank should be enduring or pertinacious. as at the end of the sentence, there is a contrast between "pack a punch" and "pull a punch". the contrast should be reflecting in the first sentence. Also, it is given in second sentence that the film has "machismo" and "daring" component which is contrasted with the word "hollow". so the first blank should have a word which says "pertinacious importance of true grit". we dont say "waning of true grit". this is contrasted by a more mellow word like "sauntering" for the second blank. and the other indicator is the start of the sentence- "moving between" which says that the author is talking about two different/opposite things.
