[Ami]

I followed the structure, tried to figure out the main idea
in the face of evidence, indicating his deliberate fraud that got failed to reassure supporters
not sure of work “imperturbability”
first part suggest his deliberate fraud failed
second blank I guessed that a talent for “fraud”, “cheating” or “deception” they never suspected
then got stuck!

@Ami

first part suggest his deliberate fraud failed

Not quite - is it saying his fraud itself failed, or his reaction to the evidence of the fraud failed to do something?

@Ami

second blank I guessed that a talent for “fraud”, “cheating” or “deception” they never suspected

Good, you need to convey the IDEA he has a talent for deception.

The blank describes what we think he had a talent for.

So which of the choices best describes the idea of “deception”?

its saying his reaction to the evidence of the fraud failed

maybe guile!!

[ganesh]

Good, so if his reaction failed, what would it not convince people that he was?

He would be trying to convince them he was a good person right? Something that contrasts “guille”

[Ami]

got it. Make sense:)
