The portion of this sentence after the blank tells you that “results tend to be colored by ... personal proclivities and suppositions.” This provides an explanation of the blank, which in turn is trying to tell you something about “impartiality.” That last portion describes something the exact opposite of impartial, so a good fill-in for your blank would be wrong or nonexistent.
Inane and fatuous are an incorrect pair, both meaning “silly.” While the “premise of impartiality” may not in fact exist, that doesn’t make it silly. Prejudicial (harmful; detrimental) and vexing (irksome; irritating) have no relationship.
Answer: D,E
