Explanation:
On this dual-blank sentence, let’s do the first blank first since we know that the blank was an encouragement to the rest of the team. Good spirits would be an encouragement to the rest of the team. You can eliminate (D) and (E). As for thesecond blank, what does a string of defeats do to a team? It discourages them. (A), elated, does not match this. Nor does (B), inundated.
