OFFICIAL EXPLANATION

The word that fits in blank 1 should convey the state in which the youth is in. The words 'festivities' and 'foot- tapping music' in the second sentence of the text suggest that liveliness or cheerfulness is in the air. The word 'reticent' which characterizes the faculty team suggests that the antonym 'exuberance' fits in the blank. The words 'enough' to light up the spirits' in the sentence suggest that the administrative staff played some role in lighting up the spirits of the faculty team. Thus, 'constant egging by' (encouraging someone) fits in the blank. Even the 'sternest' of them were ready to let their hair down for once and enjoy themselves. Thus, the answer is $\mathrm{C}, \mathrm{D}, \mathrm{G}$.
