The second blank is an easy place to start, and refers to a quality Bernie possesses. The clue for the second blank is admirable. The transition word though indicates that the word for the second blank will be an opposite of warm and magnanimous. The combination of the clue and the contrast transition indicate to use “firm” as a word for the second blank. Eliminate both (D), recalcitrance, which means stubbornness, and also (E) because they do not match “firm,” and the correct answer for the second blank is (F), tenacity. Now, look at the first blank, which refers to a quality Bernie possesses. The clue for the first blank is tenacity, and can be recycled as a word for the first blank. Choices (A) and (C) can be eliminated, because they do not match “tenacity.” The correct answer for the first blank is (B), unyielding. The correct answer is (B) and (F).

you should've told clearly apart the recalcitrant and tenacious... I think there might be grave proximity in meaning between them.
