The clue in this sentence is the phrase tasteful, even sophisticated;the word absurdly, and the transition, while, let you know that the word in the blank means the opposite of tasteful. Write down "tasteless" and look for incorrect choices to cross off. Cosmopolitan and svelte both mean sophisticated, the opposite of the predicted answer; eliminate (A) and (F). Unkempt (messy) and viridian (green) may describe a lawn, but they don't match "tasteless;" cross off (B) and (E) as well. You are now left with meretricious and tawdry, which match the predicted answer, making (C) and (D) the credited responses.
