OE
The sentence indicates that she was “legendary for Chumorous stories” from a certain set of life experiences. A raconteur is someone who tells amusing stories, but she wouldn’t be “known to all her friends” as a sage (wise or learned person) or a prevaricator (someone who tells false stories) just based on that piece of evidence. In the last part of the sentence, “belied” indicates that “her private behavior” is at odds with her public reputation, but the blank refers to her image, so it agrees with the first blank. Someone who tells amusing stories would be considered genial (friendly and cheerful), but not belligerent (hostile and aggressive) or pedantic (overly concerned with small details or rules).
Answer: C,F
