Explanation
The blank is about the judge’s personal opinion; the passage provides that the judge found the law morally objectionable (even though the judge could not rule the law unconstitutional).
Thus, find two answers that mean morally objectionable. Choices (B) and (E) work well. Choices (A), (C), and (F) provide the opposite meaning. Choice (D), while related to the fact that the judge did not rule the law unconstitutional, does not fit with the blank’s description of the judge’s personal opinion.
Hence options B and E are correct!
