Answer 1

The correct option is B Intrepid and competent

By Darwin's description of Dr.Smith's expeditions in the southern part of Africa, we can infer that Dr.Smith was a very adventurous and brave person to have gone into the depths of the life there even in dangerous surroundings with wild animals. Also, his accounts of the life there is worthy of applause. We can therefore say that Darwin thought of Dr.Smith as intrepid and competent. Therefore, the correct answer is option B) intrepid and competent.The other options are not correct because in them one word maybe used to describe Dr.Smith but not the second one.
