OE
Given the lengthy explanation of the club’s history, the elderly male member’s suggestion was backwards, or hopelessly oldfashioned. Only “regressive” matches. “Rustic” (rural) and “prudish” (excessively proper or modest) both add something to the description of the old man that is not in the original sentence. In the second blank, you want something that reflects the idea “play bridge and drink tea without having to worry about serious issues.” “Auxiliary” has this sense of secondary or on the side. The word “incendiary” (flammable) is almost an opposite of the desired meeting. Although the proposed organization might be “hierarchical,” there is nothing in the sentence that suggests that.
Answer: A,E
