OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answers are B and E.
"Disingenuous" and "devious," choices B and E, mean "not straightforward, lacking in candor" and fit the context. Choice A, "invidious," means "unpleasant, offensive, difficult," and there is nothing in the sentence to indicate this. Choice C, "artless," is the opposite of "disingenuous" and "devious." Choice D, "clandestine," means "done in secret" and doesn't fit the sense. Choice F, "indirect" means "roundabout, hinted at," and there is nothing in the sentence to indicate the applicant was hinting at the truth.
