(E) acerbic – discomfit.
either its D or E.

E. The first blank shd have a negative connotation . It cant be D as sanctimonious means something sacred, which doesnt fit. For the second blank discomfit ( means to thwart) is the only word which makes sense.
For the option C though the first blank ( damaging) seems plausible but secon blank ( confute- to deny) doesnt make sense.
