I think it's B and F. This passage is referring to Thoreau's "Walden" which I read in high school. The book heavily focuses on the simplicity of a life iin the woods without the comforts civilization provides.

B and D There are more clues for the first blank, so start there. Since “a retreat to nature appealed to Thoreau,” he most likely absorbed himself in the untamed. The word closest in meaning to absorbed is immersion. What did “immersion in the untamed” put Thoreau in touch with? A good guess would be the word untamed. Of the choices, the word closest in meaning to untamed is unpredictability. :-D

Follow the rules and most important thing: how a real GRE question is formulated with its blanks.
