Answers: (A), (D), (H)
'Foil' is an opposite. Therefore each time a person is mentioned we want to come up with a person who exhibits opposite qualities. For instance, in the first blank we have 'staid accountant.' 'Staid' is boring and dull. Thus, the opposite would be (A) colorful. For the second blank, (D) garrulous is the opposite of 'tight-lipped.' Finally, (H) gregarious is the opposite of 'introverted.'
