B Correct answer
Explanation

The flow of the passage and the word 'untimely' indicates the use of a negative word in this blank. This rules out adoration and esteem. Evasion is to avoid, which does not fit in with the context of the sentence. Tirade meaning a long speech of criticism fits in with the context.
