Ans is E. Here the clue word is " he continued with the same fervor" and in the beginning there is "Not" , that indicates the second blank should have something opposite to Fervor..there are two words that have opposite meaning i.e, Enervate and fervor , but if we check for the first blank, sanctimonious(holy)remarks does not enervate somebody's passion . The only word fits here is Acerbic ,because such remarks can cause embarrasment.
