I am just curious, why can't we use sophistry for the 2nd blank. It seems that the the sophistry could also cause a betrayal of trust.

Start with the second blank, which must mean something close to an act of treachery. Perfidy means this. Since his contemporaries believed Kazan had committed treachery, they would have “harshly criticized” him, so the first blank means rebuked. For the last blank, he was able to achieve atonement, which is what expiate means.

Kazan was quickly (i)__criticize__ by many of his contemporaries for his transgression, who saw his testimony as treachery, an act of (ii)___treachery__ which stained how they viewed him both as an artist and as a man. It was only by continually making films that he was able to (iii)_make amends__ his perceived sins and achieve some measure of atonement.
if we see the guess answers and see the world given below, we can find B and C doesn't meant criticize but rebuked mean criticize and perfidy means treachery and by make amends is synonymous of expiate. so A,D, and I is answer.

We know that Kazan made a transgression, and his contemporaries were displeased with it (..saw his testimony as treachery).Therefore, we need a strong word of condemnation for the first blank. Only rebuked fits the bill.
His contemporaries saw his testimony as treachery, hence the next phrase which continues describing his actions (an act of ____) should also convey a similar idea. The only word that fits the bill is perfidy, which describes a state of being untrustworthy and deceitful, and is closely related to treachery. Since he works to atone for his sins, sophistry cannot be the choice for the second blank. It is not strong enough word. Also it is not very closely related to treachery as perfidy is.
And since he achieved some measure of atonement, by continually making films, expatiate is the word for the third blank.
