Cevap
The first blank is completed by 'aside' and the second blank is completed by 'suspicion' (or 'distrust').
In dramatic literature, when a character delivers a brief statement directly to the audience while other characters remain present on stage but oblivious to the remark, the technique is called an aside. Orji's metaphor comparing the friendly gesture to a 'pit of adders' clearly illustrates his suspicion and distrust of Chief Koko.
