Answer: Question 1 C arrogant; Question 2 B warm wary

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 1 Subtle means not obvious; precociuos means premature; empathetic means able to understand other people´s feelings.

Therefore, arrogant is the correct option because the sentence is describing a man who enjoys giving himself credit for his deeds.

Answer 2

In this case because the sentence is introduced by an adverbial clause of concession we must find two adjectives with opposing ideas.

-Haughty means arrogant and deleteriuos means harmful. These are similar ideas

-prudent means cautious and impetious means not cautious. These are not possible because an initial impression cannot be impetuous.

-exemplary means giving a good example and evanescent means vanishing. This combination is also not possible because an initial impression cannot be vanishing.
