Blank (i):
The sentence says the leader "misgauges the exhaustion provoked by her persistent ________ ." This suggests her behavior is tiring people out. "Alluding to daunting hurdles and vast prospects" hints at grandiose language or ambition.
- Aggrandizement → self-promotion, making things seem grander; could fit.
- Remonstration → protest or arguing; doesn't fit here (she's not protesting).
- Grandiloquence → pompous or extravagant language; also possible given she's talking about vast prospects.
But "persistent grandiloquence" matches "perpetually alluding to daunting hurdles and vast prospects" - it's about lofty, overblown speech. "Aggrandizement" is more about actual power/status enlargement, but here the emphasis is on her language/excessive presentation of challenges and prospects. So C. grandiloquence fits best.
Blank (ii):
"...even within ranks broadly ________ her objectives." Even supporters who like her goals are exhausted by her grandiloquence.
- Enamored of → in love with, strong positive, fits "broadly supportive."
- Discomfited by → uneasy, but then they wouldn't be broadly supportive necessarily.
- Inured to → accustomed to; not really matching "broadly _______ her objectives" in a supportive way.
So D. enamored of works.
Blank (iii):
She avows she is _______ the nation, but the public would welcome mere incremental enhancements. So she claims she's doing something big, not incremental.
- Epochally reshaping → changing in a major historical way. Opposite of incremental; fits.
- Meticulously recalibrating → detailed adjusting, not necessarily grandiose.
- Inching ahead with → incremental, opposite of what she claims.
G. epochally reshaping matches her grand claims.
Final:
C, D, G
