Explanation
The word in the first blank gives a false impression about Howard’s underlying gregariousness, so you need something that suggests he isn’t sociable; hence, silences is the best choice. Since Howard is, underneath it all, gregarious, new acquaintances who think him churlish are incorrect, so falsely is the best fit.
Hence options B and D are correct!
