Explanation
The blank describes what the politician is doing: she beguilingly greeted a room full of constituents to get their support, so a word like convince would make sense. Both alienate and estrange are nearly the opposite of what you’re looking for, so eliminate choices (A) and (E).
Neither abase, which means to degrade, nor eviscerate, which means to gut, makes sense in the blank, so eliminate choices (B) and (D). Both inveigle and entice can mean convince, so choices (C) and (F) give you appropriate, equivalent sentences.
Hence options C and F are correct!
