fatuity
impertinence

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context. The first blank is "felicity" (meaning happiness), which fits as her career brought new happiness. For the second blank, we need a word that contrasts with her current cheerfulness and relates to her attitude toward superiors. "Impertinence" means rudeness or disrespect, but wait, no—wait, the other option is "fatuity" (foolishness) or wait, no, let's re - examine. Wait, the second part: she is always cheerful and has lost the [blank] she once had for her superiors. Wait, maybe the correct word is "impertinence"? No, wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the options are "fatuity" and "impertinence". Wait, "fatuity" is foolishness, "impertinence" is disrespect. Wait, if she was impertinent (disrespectful) to superiors before and now is cheerful, maybe she lost impertinence? But no, the sentence structure: "has lost the [blank] she once had for her superiors". Wait, maybe the correct word is "impertinence"? Wait, no, let's check the meanings again. "Felicity" is happiness. The second blank: we need a word that makes sense. Wait, maybe the correct answer for the second blank is "impertinence"? Wait, no, the options given in the dropdown (from the image) are "fatuity" and "impertinence". Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's re - analyze the sentence: "Jane’s friends feel that her career has brought her a felicity that did not exist previously. She is always cheerful and has lost the [blank] she once had for her superiors." So she was not cheerful before, and had some negative attitude towards superiors. "Impertinence" is a disrespectful attitude, so if she was impertinent (disrespectful) to superiors before and now is cheerful, she has lost that impertinence. But wait, the options: the dropdown has "fatuity" and "impertinence". Wait, maybe the correct answer is "impertinence"? But wait, maybe I got the options wrong. Wait, the user's image shows the dropdown with "fatuity" and "impertinence". Wait, maybe the correct answer is "impertinence"? No, wait, maybe "fatuity" is not right. Wait, let's check the definitions: "fatuity" is the quality of being foolish or silly; "impertinence" is the quality of being rude or not showing respect. So if she had impertinence (disrespect) for her superiors before and now is cheerful, she has lost that impertinence. So the correct answer for the second blank is "impertinence".

Answer:

The correct answer for the second drop - down menu is: impertinence
