Nonpartisan is more convenient for politics rather than economics.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answers are C and D.
Answer Blank (I): This set of answers is a good example of why one must read the sentence and all the answer choices carefully. "Certainly credible," choice A, could be the answer except that it doesn't fit the sense. The sentence needs the opposite of "credible" because the word "though" sets up a contrast relationship. Choice B, "actually impervious," means "unaffected, invulnerable, unmoved" and makes no sense. Choice C, "seemingly implausible," means "difficult to believe, unlikely" and fulfills the contrast relationship in the sentence.
Answer Blank (ii): It might have been easier to fill the second blank first to help you identify the contrast relationship. The clue for this part of the sentence is the word "outside." Choice D is correct because "impartial" means "unbiased, unprejudiced, fair." Choice E, "interested," doesn't fit the sense because an interested party would be one that showed some interest or connection to the survey. Choice F, "nonpartisan," is incorrect because it refers to political parties or special interest groups, and no groups are mentioned in the sentence.
