It is 'd'.
Any explanations, anyone?

Cheers,

Hey Zulfino,
D is correct because the assesment moved from admiration to something opposite. If you look at the first words in every choice, censure, meaning rebuke or scolding fits the best. Secondly, since the author clearly states that the assesment doesn't like families any more, it follows logically that the removal / destruction of them would be welcome. If you look at the 2nd word in each choice, dissolution is the only one that makes sense. Therefore, the ans is D

1st blank must be negative c and d are ideal, but if we look into the 2nd blank dissolution is a perfect fit.

If a institution is bankrupt and oppresive it can't be vogue. (fashion)
