    (B) affinity and (F) predilection

    The word in the blank is used to describe Jim’s feelings for gumdrops. The clues “enjoyed all kinds of candy” and “his absolute favorite” suggest that the blank signifies liking. Both “affinity” and “predilection” mean liking. “Odium” and “disregard” go in the wrong direction, suggesting dislike. “Container” might sound plausible, but it is not related to the clue. “Nature” does not mean liking in this context. Therefore, “affinity” or “predilection” best fits the description of Jim’s feelings for gumdrops.
