Explanation
The correct answers, given the pivot word while, must oppose the clue virtuous. While agitprop theater may be faddish, sophisticated, or scintillating, no clues in the sentence indicate any of these. Glib is negative but means “superficially fluent” and is inappropriate here (a person or remark can be glib).
Hence options contemptible, scurvy are best fit!
