This sentence includes the straight-ahead road sign “so.” Thus, her decision to [blank] is a result of her feeling that “could no longer empathize with her constituency.” What would a politician do at local establishments to reconnect with her constituents? A good prediction is spend time, and that is a match for (F) frequent, which means “to visit a place often." (You may think of frequent as meaning "often," but this is the verb form of this word.) It is also a match for (C) patronize, which means "to be a frequent customer." These are the correct answers. Both (B) evade and (D) skirt mean "to avoid," so they can be eliminated as being opposite the prediction. The politician would also not want to (A) vacate, meaning "to leave," the local establishments if she wants to connect with her constituency. While some constituents might be pleased if the politician were to (E) aggrandize, or "to highly praise," local establishments, there is no other choice that would create an equivalent sentence.
