Explanation:
Almost any word might fit the blank so we have to look for the most similar pair of words. �Rococo� means highly elaborate; �understated� means low-key; �pronounced� means obvious and �ingenuous� means na�ve. We are left with �studied� and �mannered� which both can have the connotation of deliberate and even pretentious. Note that both words can be used in other contexts too.
