Explanation:

Let us consider A, B, C, D, and E to be five blanks, with A being the first, B the second and so on.
• The first blank requires a verb in the present continuous tense as the verb 'says' later in the sentence reveals that this section of the sentence is in the present tense. Thus, the correct answer is 'calling'.
• The second blank requires an adjective that can be used to describe the noun in the next blank. Grammar rules state that the adjective precedes the noun. Thus, the correct answer is 'favourite'.
• The third blank requires a noun that can be described by the adjective in the previous blank. Thus, the correct answer is 'opponent'.
• The fourth blank requires a verb in the past tense as it talks about
something that happened over time. Thus, the correct answer is 'matched'. • The fifth blank requires a noun that describes a time period as hinted by the preposition 'over'.

Thus, the correct answer is 'DCBAE"
