"Fill in the best word" sentence, again
Ok, another sentence that is plainly too hard for me. Instruction are the same: supply one English word if needed. If not needed, put 0 (zero).
Darwin, in his memoirs, went to some ______ to denying that he had ever stumbled upon evidence that the subject of evolution was "in the air" in his day: I _____ well now and then sound not a _______naturalists, but i never came across a single one who seemed to harbour ______ misgivings about the constancy of species whatsoever.
Those underlined words are my guesses. In denying and constancy there are help in my own language. However, i do not know if they are in appropriate form. And that "across" is the only thing that came in to my mind. I am extremely grateful if someone could give me a hand with these.

Hi Zerox, Darwin, in his memoirs, went to some _trouble_____ to deny that he had ever stumbled upon evidence that the subject of evolution was "in the air" in his day: I _____ well now and then sound not a _______naturalists, but i never came across a single one who seemed to harbour _any_____ misgivings about the immutablility of species whatsoever. The sentence in italics does not make any sense. I think you must have typed it with errors.

Sorry to tell you but it is exactly like that; and I totally agree with you that it makes no sense, however, this is a university test so it isnt a mistake. And why it is "deny" insted of "denying" and, furthermore, could there be "extent" insted of "trouble"?

perhaps:
-------------
Darwin, in his memoirs, went to some lengths to denying that he had ever stumbled upon evidence that the subject of evolution was "in the air" in his day:
I may well now and then sound not a lot like other [yes, more than a word, I know] naturalists, but
