The correct answers are B. equitable and D. evenhanded because both suggest fairness and balance.
• Equitable means fair and impartial.
• Evenhanded means treating all sides fairly and without bias.
The sentence says Clarke was more balanced this time, mixing a grumpy (curmudgeonly) tone with a kindly (avuncular) one. So, words meaning fair or balanced fit best.
Other choices like forthright (direct), ingenuous (naive), demonstrative (expressive), and ambivalent (having mixed feelings) don’t emphasize this balance or fairness as clearly.
