First Blank (i): The phrase "stresses of the economic downturn seemed to have a silver lining" suggests that the stresses were significant but had a positive side. Therefore, we need a word that indicates strong or intense stress.

Unmitigated: Means not lessened or softened, implying intense stresses.
Miserly: Means stingy or ungenerous, which doesn't fit the context of stresses.
Conciliatory: Means intended to placate or pacify, which also doesn't fit the context of stresses.

The best fit for blank (i) is "unmitigated" because it means strong and intense, aligning with the context of significant stresses.
