OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
A patriarchal society is one where the head of a family is a male. The expression 'astonished .... ardent optimists' indictes that the rise of women to seats of power in such a society was beyond expectations. The blank therefore, needs a suitable adjective to describe the phenomenal 'rise'. The words 'meteoric' and 'spectacular' are appropriate. Thus, the correct answer is choice B (meteoric) and choice D (spectacular).
