Engaging, a tired.
Since the critics viewed the book negatively, as
evidenced by “dry pedantry” (a rigid overemphasis on rules or details) and
“humorless presentation,” the author must have turned an interesting topic
into a tedious one. Thus, the first blank will be positive in tone and the second
negative. “Engaging” matches the tone and content. “Affectless,” meaning
showing a lack of emotion or sympathy, and “dogmatic,” meaning
opinionated or doctrinal, do not match the positive tone needed for the first
blank. Similarly, for the second blank, only “a tired” matches the required
negative tone; “a worthy” is positive and “an instructive” is neutral.
