For the second blank the “yet” contrasts with ‘hide important differences’ . Now if you are hiding something, won’t the opposite of hiding it mean that its out in open or rather someone is vocal about it , rather than hiding it.

Can someone clarify this question for me.

after the blank we got ________, yet … hide important differences --> so its saying that politician are unlike (different)yet these difference is hidden by advertisements

I’m sorry. I still didn’t get the reasoning. Can you explain a little more in detail.

political candidates are usually quite _____________yet their campaign advertisements often hide important differences -> Before the blank is saying that political candidates are something but their political advt. is often hiding this something or differences ( our blank ii)

Got it. Thanks !

So the answer is B (effective) and E (dissimilar) because yet shows the contrast so i choose the E option and from that I choose B option for blank 1. Does my interpretation and method correct?

No, answer to first blank is deceptive, Ask yourself this question when advertising is embellishing something, how can it be effective?

Isn’t the answer would be deceptive and vocal?

Why do you think vocal for blank 2?

After yet,there’s a negative meaning… So i thought of word that does not go with the negative meaning

Try and use semantics here as well? What is the opposite of “important differences”?

Thanks… I just realized my mistake…
