The first blank is easy - deceptive. For second blank: yet is the contrast word. The part after yet is indicating something bad/ negative. Hence, the 2nd blank should be positive. Of the 3 options interchangeable can be eliminated.
I am confused between dissimilar and vocal. I choose vocal because, I assumed being vocal means to be clear and not hide any differences as contrasted by the second half.
Although the correct answer is dissimilar. Can anyone explain how’d that be the case?
I would be careful. Whenever you have connotation vs semantics, its better to go with semantics. RHS is telling us they hide important differences, so we need something opposite of that.
Absolutely! So the LHS should say the political candidates do not hide important differences. Like I stated in my reasoning: being vocal means to be clear and not hide any differences. How to reach dissimilar?
Vocal does not imply telling the truth, that’s too much of leap. You can still be vocal and disguise things.
Actually, not quite. This is quite challenging logic in this question. RHS is saying political candidates appear similar (hide differences), so LHS needs to say they are different.
