Answer: encomium/tribute
Explanation:
For all the encomium the new CEO has received from the press recently, her staff have a decidedly less rosy view of her.
One who is showered with encomium or tribute or praise simply means that the boss had been spoken of in high regards and acknowledged for doing something great.
Answer:
A. encomiums
B. tributes
Explanation:
When it is said that someone has a decidedly less rosy view of someone else, it means that they do not like their character or personality.
The new CEO's staff had such a view of her which would imply that they find her character to be somewhat lacking. The sentence was structured in such a way that their views were the opposite of that of the press which would mean that the missing word has something to do with a favorably view of the CEO's character.
Those words could either be encomiums which mean praises or tributes which is essentially the same as encomium.
