Instructions
Select the most appropriate word(s) from the given choices to fill the blank(s).
Solution
The sentence intends to convey that the person's listeners (or fans) enjoyed his wit but his victims hated the same.
Lugubrious means sad. Trenchant means incisive.
Among lugubrious, bitter and trenchant, trenchant is a better word.
The word that fills the second blank should mean that his victims did not like the satire.
'Wince' is the correct term to be used in this context.
The person discussed makes incisive comments. Though people enjoy it, the victims hate the same. Therefore, option D is the right answer.
