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!
