1. E

First word must be opposite of "obsure" and second word must be the opposite of "preventing thought".

2. E
they tend to be hostile (not so friendly) but they wouldn't go as far as to immediately associated these strangers with danger. So 2nd word is synonomous with strangers, so "foreigness"
