OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
It's important to notice the phrases "only be refusing to acknowledge" and "would resultin anything other than." Taken together, these phrases suggest that experts would have to overlook the obvious severity of the financial crisis if they were to predict that the cash bailout would provide anything but a weak, temporary, or ineffectual solution to the corporation's problems. Our answer must suggest that a bailout offers no substantial solution to the crisis. Transitory means "temporary," so it works in the same way as does fleeting. In context, this suggests that the bailout will only provide a solution that will not last. Choices (C) and (F) are correct.
