In the writer's view, now and then in the ________ of politics, a person of observable integrity and moral strength appears in a way that draws public attention to the central rather than _______ matters.
Here, the second blank will be the opposite of central, hence something that says marginal matters.

The first blank needs a word that means that in the disruption/chaos of politics, a person with integrity draws public attention.

Further,
such a person is vital because he/she focuses on the key issues and cuts through something unrelated.
distraction
Answer B F H
