The novelist devotes so much time to avid descriptions of his characters’ clothes that the reader soon feels that such (i) __________ concerns, although worthy of attention, have superseded any more directly literary aims.
The novelist is concerned with the avid descriptions of his character's clothes and he devotes much time to it. The only word from the choice list that will correctly describe his concerns is sartorial.
Since the concerns are described as worthy of attention, we can rule out irrelevant and frivolous.
didactic refers to a method of instruction that is unidirectional from teacher to student.
syntactical refers to grammatical elements.
Both these are irrelevant and can be discarded.

OE
Since the politician is portrayed as adapting political positions to political realities, blank (i) should be filled with “strategic,” which is also the only choice that provides the required contrast with “ideological.” The second blank, brandishing political principles is what a politician might do piously, while flouting is not pious and following principles does not make sense when combined with “betray[ing] them in practice.” The third blank requires something that would have to be balanced against “political self-interest” and that would be embraced in service of an “unchanging higher purpose,” making “deeply felt moral code” the only viable choice.
Thus, the correct answer is strategic (Choice C), brandish (Choice D), and deeply felt moral code (Choice H).
