Direction: In each of the following sentences there are two blank spa...
Explanation:

Context:
The sentence is discussing the consequences of carrying a particular attitude to a conference.

Analysis:
- The word "belligerent" means hostile or aggressive, which does not fit the context of potentially losing supporters.
- The word "supercilious" means behaving as though one thinks one is superior to others, which also does not fit the context.
- The word "ubiquitous" means present, appearing, or found everywhere, which is not relevant to the sentence.
- The word "truculent" means eager or quick to argue or fight; aggressively defiant, which fits the context of alienating supporters.
- Therefore, the correct pair of words to fill in the blanks are "truculent" and "alienate."

Conclusion:
The correct answer is option 'B': Truculent, alienate. This pair of words make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningfully complete.
