B, F.
Tony was incensed, which means angry. The second blank is tricky. Routed and eschewed both mean avoid, which is a very plausible reaction for Tony. However, flouted means to avoid or disregard, usually in terms of a law or convention, and eschewed typically means to refrain or abstain from something and is often used in a religious context. Neither of these fit into the sentence. Upbraided means to reprimand or scold, which works in this context.
