Explanation:

- Original sentence: His conversation was unaffected by simple and frank, and his language was natural, always abounding in curious anecdotes.

- Option 1: Unaffected was simple: This doesn't fit grammatically; "was" is incorrectly placed.

- Option 2: Unaffectedly simple: "Unaffectedly" is an adverb modifying "simple," fitting well.

- Option 3: Unaffected and simple: While it is grammatically correct, it implies separation between "unaffected" and "simple," diverging from the intended meaning.

- Option 4: Unaffectedly in simple: Incorrect grammar and awkward construction.

- Option 5: No correction required: Current construction is grammatically incorrect and unclear.

ANSWER: Option 2 - Unaffectedly simple.
