The sentence says something to the effect of "continued support".
A) This seems like a good choice, however it is not quite correct. Resilience means more of "withstanding harm/negative events". That is not what is being conveyed here (which is loyalty/support)
B) Again, fortitude is not quite the correct meaning.
C) Not sure what this means -> root ig means "do". Do nominy?
D) This is correct. Constancy has a meaning of "carrying on, continuing support" which is what the sentence is trying to say.
E) Wrong meaning. Ambivalence means "neutral".
F) Matches nicely with D. "showing their allegiance" means to show their support, show their alliance which is what the sentence is trying to say.
D, F

You can use the detour road sign “despite” to conclude that one event happened despite another. Focus on the key words “lies” and “voters.” How might voters act toward a candidate despite her lies? You’re looking for a positive word, one meaning that the voters continued to support the untruthful legislator. You may know that choice (A) resilience means “the ability to recover from adversity.” There’s nothing in the sentence to indicate that the voters had to face any sort of adversity, so eliminate this one. Choice (D) constancy means “faithfulness” and is a correct answer. Choice (F) allegiance means something similar. Those two answers match your prediction. The word (B) fortitude is related to stamina and survival. It fits with resilience but not with the sentence, so eliminate it. Choice (C) ignominy means “disgrace” and, with its negative connotation, fits the senator but not her loyal voters. Finally, choice (E) ambivalence suggests uncertainty about what to do. That would be a natural response to the senator’s lying and therefore doesn’t fit with the detour road sign “despite.” The correct answers are (D) constancy and (F) allegiance.
