The fact that the winning pair’s rivals were “in peak physical form” suggests that these rivals had a reasonable expectation of victory; the fact that they “complained about the judging” indicates that they regarded the pair’s victory as not completely deserved. Tese two considerations suggest that the rivals had a negative reaction to the winning pair’s victory; the only answer choice for Blank (i) that matches this meaning is “irksome,” so it is correct. Te second sentence reinforces the implication that the rivals were also strongly deserving of victory, and the word “too” suggests that the performances of the wi ning pair and of their rivals were comparable in quality. Tis points to “terrifc” as the correct answer choice for Blank (ii). Thus the correct answer is irksome (Choice B) and terrifc (Choice D).
