What don’t you get? If you don’t explain where you’re stuck, it’s hard to give you *help*. Just giving you the answer would be cheating.

Look up the five terms in the answers; make sure you understand them all. How many can you eliminate by reading the phrase again? For each one you didn’t eliminate, read the definition again, and see how well it fits the phrase.

As for general reading comprehension, I’ll bet the critical phrase is “value the ineffectual qualities”. Consider this with respect to “gentlemen”, if necessary.

Does that do the job?
