Official Explanation
The word despite signifies an upcoming shift or contradiction in the sentence. Looking at the choices, melodrama (excessive drama) and maudlin (overly sentimental) create that shift, because, with those words in the sentence, the actor does something that contradicts what he claims to believe. Knowing the definition of antithesis (opposite) helps here.
Answer: A,E
