She was not the only (i) _________ of the long-proposed [#permalink]

Proponent is a synonym of apologist, which means supporter. Both the words mean nearly same. How do we figure out that proponent is a better option?

An apologist is someone who defends something or someone else. NOT necessarily support it or him/her.

Instead of the meaning of the sentence NOT only she was a proponent of the bill but also she was a huge catalyst or the focus to, the crossroad for the implementation of the bill in reality or to transform it into the agenda

Notice how the question is missing the proper idiom not only....but also. It is NOt wrong 100% in the sentence but would be a better sentence with the correct idiom.

Let me know if you got it or still unclear somehow
