a) A militancy..concomitant
b) A sense..incompatible
c) A mutability .. inconsistent
d) A direction..auxiliary
e) A fullness..dissonance

I agree that C is the best answer. Here is my analysis:
The word "but" is the strong clue, helping us understand that "Puritans brought to civil and military affairs a coolness of judgement and----of purpose" is contrary to what writers thought. Therefore, some word meaning "irrelevant" should be placed in the second blank and we reduce all choices to B and C. Ok, now look at the first blank. Think in this way: in the eyes of some writers, "coolness of adjustment" and "----of purpose" do not typify nature of religion. In other words, "coolness of adjustment and ----of purpose" are inconsistent or incompatible with the essense of religion. In reality, it is commonly thought that impassionedness (not coolness) of adjustment and consistency of purpose characterize religion. Now, look at the first word of the choices B and C, what is the perfect antonym of the word "consistency"?. That is "mutability"

I've got B, A, D [intuitively]
I do agree with sea_gull

Mutablity does mean capable of change.And this is the oonly meaning applied in this question.if you look at the first question , in the last there used a word"BUT" , which is reverting the meaning of the first blank with the"COOLNESS OF JUDGEMENT". Also,these two diiferent things, that is COOLNESS OF JUDGEMENT AND MUTABILTY OF PURPOSE had made writers to think about that whatever Puritans have brought to Military and Civil Affairs is incompatible with their religious Zeal.
I hope now it should clear to you..
