The correct answer is option (A):
looking....down
The correct answer is "looking...down." The phrase "see eye to eye" implies agreement or a shared perspective. When someone is "looking down" on another person, it suggests a feeling of superiority or disdain. This makes it impossible for the other person to share the same perspective, as they are being treated as inferior. The other options don't logically fit the sentence. "Putting blame," "heaping praises," or "showering accusations" are actions that might create tension or disagreement, but they don't directly imply a lack of shared perspective the way "looking down" does. The implication of looking down on someone sets up the lack of agreement, making it the most logical and correct answer.
