Answer:

1. Option B: CODDLED

2. Option A: DEMAGOGUE

Explanation:

<em><u>1.      Because he was </u></em><em><u>CODDLED </u></em><em><u>as a child, Rob was a rather self-centred teenager.</u></em>

The correct option is B: Coddled because the adjective refers to the parenting method and how it resulted in his posterior self-centred personal feature.

<u>Option A: Bourgeois </u>cannot be the correct one because it is more related with the social position that someone has, which mustn´t have a direct relationship with his self-centred behaviour; <u>option C:</u> Despotic is not correct because it doesn´t respect the rule of action-reaction that the sentence needs to express; <u>option D:</u> Dubious is not the one because in a contextual view of the sentence it doesn’t make sense.

Tip: Notice that to fill this blank you need an adjective.

<u><em>2.      After hearing the raucous, cheering response to Adam’s speech, Mr James feared that his new student body president might be an amateur </em></u><u><em>DEMAGOGUE</em></u><u><em>.</em></u>

The correct option is A: Demagogue because, thinking in the sentence context, the noun that here appears corresponds to the reaction that Adam´s speech had. <u>Option B: Despot </u>can´t be the correct one because if it were elected the sentence would be a contradiction: a despot one doesn´t provoke a raucous and cheering response. <u>Option C: </u>enigma is not adequate to the context by the same reasons of<u> option B </u>(it doesn´t apply if we consider the sentence´s meaning), and finally <u>option D</u>: bourgeois is not the one because it doesn´t make sense since it is not related to the statement of the sentence.

Tip: Notice that to fill this blank you need a noun.
