e cant be the answer.If people are hissing (disapproving) a villian they will feel right,haapy and sure about it.So e,a,d,b are eliminated.What left is c.

If some one can please explain '1' to me.

The action and characters in a melodrama can be so immediately ------- that all observers can hiss the villain with an air of smug but enjoyable-------.
A spurned......boredom
B forgotten.....condescension
C classified ......self-righteous
D plausible.......guilt
E gripping ....skepticism

In a melodrama the characters can be easily classified : ) . None of the other answers suits the 1st blank.

Even after ----------------------- against the -----------------------of popular sovereignty were included, major figures in the humanistic disciplines remained skeptical about the proposal to extend suffrage to the masses.
A recommendations...continuation
B safeguards...........excesses
C arguments............introduction
D provisions..........advantages
E laws.......Creation

Even after something +ve was done against -ve still the people were skeptical (doubting) about the changes.

Good explanation Aveno, even though i wasn't able to understand the 1st sentence, u've given a persuasive reply..

What i still fail to understand is the second one.. I was going for E.

.. why not gripping? I just can't get the hint of it being 'classified'..

1st one was easy +ve against -ve still some are skeptical..

In second one i knew that it needs to be something +ve but didnt know meaning of condescension..
