II. He was probably the first __________ Western person to suggest that the Soviet regime had failed to _________ religion within its domains.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. For the first sentence, the blank requires an adjective describing the leader. Option A uses "cavort," which is a verb meaning to skip or dance around, so it is unsuitable.

2. Option E uses "humongous," meaning very large, which is not an appropriate adjective for a leader in this context, so it is eliminated.

3. The tone of the second sentence appears positive regarding the leader's actions, so options B and C, which have negative or unrelated meanings, do not fit.

4. Option D uses "prominent" (meaning well-known or important) for the leader, and "obliterate" (meaning to destroy) for what the leader tries to do to the opposition forces. Both words fit the context perfectly.
