OE
The sentence tells you that Don Juan had “an astronomical number of amatory adventures,” but that it was not because he had a “surfeit of charisma or skillfulness.” What might explain this discrepancy? Perhaps if Don Juan weren’t particularly choosy. A good fill-in for the blank would be not choosy.
Sumptuous and hedonistic are an incorrect pair, meaning “luxurious” and “devoted to luxury or pleasure,” respectively. While they both describe someone like Don Juan, they don’t explain how he had so many lovers. Lurid (gruesome, shocking) and covert (not openly done; veiled) have no relationship.
Answer: D,E
