Hume is not content with reducing the ________ of a causal connection to experience of frequent conjunction; he proceeds to argue that such experience does not ________ the expectation of similar conjunctions in the future.

Hume is not content with reducing the ‘evidence’ (proof) of a causal connection (cause and effect) that is linked to experience of 'frequent conjunctions' (two things occurring together). There is no rational explanation (justification) to expect similar conjunction in future (as there is no 'evidence' of such causal connection).
