It is easier to go from the second blank
just as the scientist toils away in an attic, or the athlete trains even in inhospitable conditions, a writer too must be (ii) ______
The sentence tells about hard work of scientist and athlete. Both work so hard. The blank should be answered by hard work or consistency. Tenacious is a perfect choice. Candid (straightforward) is irrelevant. Yielding will do the opposite
Writing well is not so much a matter of inspiration as it is (i) ______
Using the second blank and the sentence, we can conclude that writing is not much of inspiration, but it is a hard work. The first and second blank are in the same direction.
Perseverance is perfect choice. Forethought and carelessness is irrelevant.
hope this helps
