Ideologies are deeply held ideas or notions. Platitudes are trite remarks, which can also be made in religious contexts. However, something trite will likely not change the world, the context clue of the second sentence. From the contextual set-up of not only...but could also, you know that the Last two blanks support each other. Germane means appropriate or suitable, while to assuage is to relieve or ease. Osculating (to come into close contact) and oscillating (to vibrate or swing back and forth, like a pendulum) do not fit the context, but can be confusing in their similar spellings if you do not recognize the terms.
