Explanation

The same direction trigger as and the clues hoax and feigned require that the blank mean something like tricked. None of reconnoitered, lambasted, vitiated, or derided mean tricked, so eliminate choices (A), (C), (D), and (E). Hoodwinked does mean tricked, so select choice (B).

Hence option B is correct!

The fans dismissed the ill report saying it was a hoax I.E. they believed was a joke considering that many times the comedian tricked the audience with this trick: being ill when indeed was never true

B is the only viable option = deceived

it is a good question but the options are way too weird for a GRE question
