The correct answers are B. pacific and D. conciliatory.

"Pacific" means peace-promoting, which fits the context of the novel being "profoundly" opposed to armed conquest, aligning with the anti-war theme of All Quiet on the Western Front.
"Conciliatory" means intended to pacify or reduce conflict, which also reflects the novel's tone of opposing war and violence.

C, E and F are out of context and A doesn't have the pair. B and D perfectly befit the detour and the change in the direction from the first half of the sentence. At the very outset, I was frustriated by %66 of respondents that gave wrong answer. I did not understand why they did since question doesn't seem to be that difficult.

I am assuming the wrong answers would mostly be (C) Prescient and (E) Prophetic -- derived from

Quote:
implicitly opposed their vision of armed conquest


However, we need to find the opposite of Armed Conquest as that would be the right fit for this.

Therefore, options (B) and (D) are the right fit as they support peace-keeping efforts.
