For each of the Questions 1 to 6, select one entry for each blank from the corresponding column of choices.

The president has considerable oratorical skills, but as a socialist, he is far less (i) __________ than his opponent, whose networking abilities are (ii) ___________.

(A) (i) adroit, (ii) breathtaking

(C) (i) unconvincing, (ii) spurious

(E) (i) adroit, (ii) spurious
