Blank (i)        Blank (i)
A. minimized     D. tenuous
B. touted        E. complicated
C. acknowledged  F. important
选项
答案A,D
解析 两句话的逻辑连接词为although，引导让步转折。让步的部分：she admitted that her airport expansion plan had recently collapsed(她承认机场扩张的计划失败了)，这里的she指代的是the governor (州长)。转折的部分：这个州长(i)________失败的影响。转折的部分与让步的部分取反，应该体现这个州长不愿意承认自己失败，即这个州长弱化了自己失败的影响，认为自己不那么失败。把A、B、C依次代入空格，发现B选项语义不合理(不可能吹嘘自己的失败)，C选项无法构成转折，所以空格(i)应该选A项minimized(弱化，降低)。空格(ii)所在的部分pointing out that competing economic development proposals are now more(ii)________为分词短语作状语，表示governor的状态，与空格(i)所在的句子意思保持一致。这个州长指出竞争对手的经济发展计划(competing economic development proposals)具有(ii)________的特征，体现州长认为自己没有那么失败。只有在竞争对手的计划也很不好的情况下，这个州长的失败才会显得不那么失败，所以空格(ii)填表示容易失败的词，因此选D项tenuous(站不住脚的)，意思就是别人的意见也好不到哪去，所以弱化了自己失败的影响。
