Pay attention to the word failed & retrospect these words indicate that the first part of the sentence is opposite of the second sentence.
Here, I was not able to guess a word for the blank so I matched the words with their meanings:
Stringent & strict
Diffident & retiring
Immoderate and effusive
As words meaning strict and lacking confidence are irrelevant to the sentence. Immoderate and effusive are the only best choice possible.
IMO D & F
Hope this helps
