The first blank is 'resolute' and the second blank is 'intransigent'.
The sentence requires two words that describe a person who does not yield. The first blank is framed positively ('commended for', 'standing firmly by core principles'), requiring the positive connotation of 'resolute'.

Evaluate the words in the word bank against the established requirements.
'Resolute' means admirably purposeful and unwavering (positive unyielding). 'Intransigent' means unwilling to change one's views (negative unyielding). 'Deferential' and 'obsequious' mean yielding to others, which contradicts the context.
