    Solution

    The word ‘dissent’ means ‘a strong difference of opinion on a particular subject, especially about an official suggestion or plan or a popular belief’. The word ‘contempt’ means ‘a strong feeling of disliking and having no respect for someone or something’. Both are nouns and perfectly fit the blank. 2- socially acceptable or good. It is an adjective. 3- to go or come down. It is a verb. 5- everything that is contained within something. It is a noun, but does not fit the blank. 6- to criticize something or someone strongly, usually for moral reasons. It is a verb.
