Explanation
The two parts of the sentence need to refer to the same topic, so recycle the clue respect for the first blank. Of the choices, only prestige means respect. For the second blank, the clue decline and the trigger in contrast to indicate that you need a word that means something like increased. Of the choices, only reaped makes sense.
Hence options B and F are correct!
