B Correct answer
Explanation

Out of all the options for the first blank; 'glibly' is the only word that substantiates the first blank, as the clue is given by forward or backward in the sentence. Checking the sentence for the other two blanks, 'extravagant' and 'marvelous' gives meaning to the whole sentence, thereby, confirming that (2) is the answer.
