Answer and Explanation

Answer:ABBBA

Explanation:
Being critical about low quality and high prices is a rational thing. Hence A
‘Depricate’ means to criticize while ‘depreciate’ is to go down in value. One will definitely be annoyed and become critical if prices go up and quality comes down. Hence B
‘Distinctive’ means characteristic of something while ‘distinct’ means clear, obvious. Hence B
‘Fervid’ also means emotional but it has a negative connotation which ‘fervent’ doesn’t. The context suggests a positive emotion. Hence B
‘Factious’ means divisive while ‘fractious’ means peevish or irritable. ‘Factious’ suits the context . Hence A.
