In his unexpurgated autobiography, Mark Twain commented freely on the flaws and foibles of his country, making some observations so _______ that his heirs and editors feared they would damage Twain’s reputation if not withheld.
The underlined part is not necessary to answer the question (eliminate it in your mind while reading)
Evidence #1: commented freely, making some observations so* ...... - indicates an extreme case.
Evidence #2: damage Twain’s reputation
