The sentence implies that the public and the art critics had similar negative reactions to the modern art exhibits; the words “vituperation” and “disgust” further suggest that this reaction was very intense. Thus answers to both Blank (i) and Blank (ii) must be synonymous with “strong negative reaction.” Te only combination of the answer choices that matches this meaning is “aghast” and “shock,” so this answer is correct.
Thus the correct answer is aghast (Choice A) and shock (Choice D).
