OE
The first half of this sentence sets up the topic, but the important information is in the second half. There, you’re told about the “most ardent supporter [of corporal punishment].” This supporter agrees with detractors on at least one thing, for which “evenhanded and thorough” is a clue. A good fill-in for your blank would be deserved or fair.
Clement and merciful are an incorrect synonym pair. They both go against the spin that the blank calls for. Delimited (having limits established; bounded) and tantamount (equivalent; virtually the same as) are not related.
Answer: A,D
