1 fond: This is the correct answer. To be 'fond' of (ten pin bowling) means to have a strong affection for ten pin bowling. In the dialogue Bruno says to Leonard that Brian 'isn't very fond of socialists', this means that Brian doesn't like socialists. Note that this expression is always followed by the preposition 'OF', for example: I am fond of her, she is fond of sheep.
2 grievance: A 'grievance' is a term that is most commonly used in formal situations to describe a complaint or an injustice. For example, 'I filed a grievance against the police after they destroyed my front door.' In the dialogue, Leonard says 'it's my duty to negotiate worker's rights and grievances with the employer.' This means that Leonard, as a union representative, has the responsibility to bring complaints and grievances to Bruno's attention. Note that a 'grievance' can refer both to the complaint as well as the unjust act itself.
