AnswerClick to flip back
A
exemplary, apostolic, evangelical
💡 Explanation:
A priest can't be 'execrable' (detestable) or 'offensive'. Hence, we are left with (1) and (4) options. 'Avant - garde' is new, unconventional, hence, this might even fit the second blank. But irksome (tiresome) makes no sense with missionary work, whereas 'evangelical' means in, of or according to the Gospels or the teaching of the New Testament. Hence, (4) is the answer.
