Q.Although the politician claimed to champion transparency, his actions revealed him to be nothing more than a __________.
I think this is level 3 question based on both logic of question and vocab of question are pretty medium grade.
For SE in my way of tackling it. You just have to focus on 3 things.
Vocabulary Knowledge: you have to know the meaning of 3/4 word of each question. If not, it will be very challenging to solve problems with unknown vocabs. Suggestion would be to finish gregmats vocab mountain
Pairing the Words: knowing the meaning is 50% of work but knowing its synonyms are as important for pairing. Suggestion would be to use practice skill section in gregmat website for pairing words there are 300 something and it would be very helpful.
Math strategy: Knowing to use this strategy in SE is very important if you have weak vocab because it let us predict the connotation of word and sometimes meanings too.
For this question first know meaning of the words. Then pair it like(ally-benefactor, pretender-dissembler). Now, use math strategy to know connotation of blank.
Here, although makes relation between two sections negative, “the politician claimed to champion transparency” have positive connotation. So, the latter half of idea must have negative connotation. Hence, blank takes a word with negative connotation, which is pair of pretender-dissembler. You can also use semantics as opposite of backing transparency is pretending.
So, C and E are answers.
