plz explain 1st blank , i got second one is correct but failed at 1st blank!!!

This is a two-blank text completion question that tests:
- Literary Context: Understanding the portrayal of Emperor Joseph II in Amadeus (contrasting historical reputation with artistic depiction).
- Vocabulary: Words like "enlightened," "doctrinaire," and "iconoclastic" must fit the thematic contrast.
- Logical Flow:
- Blank (i): How history views Joseph Il’s reign (likely positive, given "radical reformer").
- Blank (ii): How the play Amadeus subverts this view (negative, due to his orthodoxy).

Approach:
1. Blank (i): "Reign was strikingly [blank]."

(A) dissipated (wasteful) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Unlikely for a reformer.
(B) enlightened $\(\rightarrow\)$ Fits; aligns with "radical reformer" (Joseph II was a real-life Enlightenment figure).
(C) placid (calm) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Incorrect; contradicts "radical."

2. Blank (ii): "Depicts him as [blank] thinker, too wedded to orthodoxy."

(D) a revolutionary $\(\rightarrow\)$ Contradicts "wedded to orthodoxy."
(E) an iconoclastic (anti-tradition) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Opposite of the intended meaning.
(F) a doctrinaire (rigidly orthodox) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Fits; matches "wedded to orthodox theories."

Correct Pair: (B) enlightened, (F) a doctrinaire.
