A Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase is 'The entire ______ of the party gave a very ______ look'. 'Florid' means ornate, elaborate, or showy in style or appearance, which fits describing the visual impression of a party scene. 'Fustian' means pompous/bombastic, 'dangling' means hanging loosely, and 'conjugal' means relating to marriage - none fit describing a party's visual appearance.
