an unsolved quesion
I digged up my old posts and found some of them were still unsolved.
Here's the one.
"That many lawyers have acquired a reputation for_______ even the most solemn and binding undertakings does not ______ discovery of attorneys devoted to both legal and ethical right.
A. enforcing . . promote
B. articulating . . ensure
C. repudiating . . permit
D. disapproving . . produce
C. subverting . . preclude
I failed to choose the right answer, because I don’t know exactly what kind of relationship it would be between 'solemn and binding undertaking' and 'both legal and ethical right'. Could you please explain it for me? Thank you."

Top answer
I think the answer is E (even if you have labelled it a second C). You needed to look for an answer that allows the 'even though A has happened (the point up to undertakings) it doesn't stop B from happening (the rest). So you know that the two words have to conflict in some way, which rules out A, B and D.
