Last two!
52a "What Dante wrote of differed from Perec's novel"(5) - I have S___S
31d "Planted at a later date, tree to drift out of position"(11) - I have R_T_O_I_T__
This is one of the worst ever and I have had to look up several answers on the forum to get this far!

Thanks guys, I had class for 45d (I thought it related to degrees)which is why I could not get hades. I suppose it has to be clash although I cannot see why. I will try to use the ? for spaces in future.

Crash (ie failure)may be better but still makes little sense against the rest of the clue!

I suppose that if your exam mark is a C, that would be third-rate and if you act without considerating the consequences then that would be RASH.
