OE
The blank describes “help” offered by managers to “young employees who have not sought out mentoring.” Furthermore, the help “comes across as presumptuous.” Giving arrogant, unwanted help is “patronizing” or “condescending.” Note that “baneful” (harmful) and “noxious” (poisonous) are similar to each other, but are much too negative. “Amenable,” which means cooperative or compliant, is too positive, and the word generally applies better to people than to a noun like “the help.” Similarly, “pragmatic” (sensible or practical) is both too positive and unpaired with any other choice.
Answer: C,F

Hello Sajjad1994
Your explanations showed C and F as answers which I agree with. However, C and E are marked as answers. Can you change the answers to CF rather than CE.
