1). (A)-(E)2). (C)-(D)3). (B)-(E)4). (A)-(C)

Answer»

The correct answer is Option 5, i.e. (B)-(D). 

The given sentence is a quote from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Here, Mr. DARCY tells Elizabeth Bennet what he thought of her sister, Jane.

The FIRST blank must be an adjective which describes Jane's countenance so, options (A) and (B) are both LIKELY

And for the second blank, the options (D) and (E) both seem likely. But, since 'conviction' which means 'firmly HELD opinion' is the only noun, which can follow the article, 'a', (D) must be the correct choice.

Hence, (B)-(D) is the correct option.

'Treasured' which means 'held dear' is not RELEVANT here.
