1)Noting that few employees showed any : This is the clue for the sc.

second blank first : first part of sentence showed that the employes accept the new regulations.

so when peter was forced it mean to say employee dont accept the new regulation is answer for second blank

grudging- feeling of ill will or resentment: best fits inthis blank

 

this negotiates all other choices

3) the first part shows that old man is affectionate to kid.

 

;- indicates that the two halves are related. its the trigger in the sentence.

.......................................................................................................

so his conduct toward the child betrayed his ________ her.

.......................................................................................................

the blank should have some thing that means-- affectionate. so wright away A and D could be the choices.

 

if u take choice A, lavish is splendid and it cannot go with first part of sentence as he cannot be accused for being lavish...

so D is best one
