The clue in the sentence is more at liberty to be candid. The triggers are but and nevertheless. Both triggers are opposite-direction triggers, so the correct answer must mean something that relates to the opposite of to be candid. A good word for the blank therefore might be deleting. Emancipating means setting free, which is not the same as deleting, so you can eliminate choice (A). Censoring means deleting, so choice (B) is a correct answer. Refuting means proving false, so choice (C) is incorrect. Lauding means to praise, so you can eliminate choice (D). Ameliorating means easing or lessening, and does not mean deleting, so you can eliminate choice (E). Expurgating means changing by removing words, so choice (F) is a correct answer.
