The correct answers are D (marginalized) and E (sidelined).
Sentence Meaning
A promising ("propitious") candidate being marginalized or sidelined early highlights voters' changeable ("fickle") support. gre.myprepclub +1
Why These Choices
- Both mean pushed to the edge or benched, fitting the negative surprise for a strong candidate.
- Positive options like lionized (A) or glorified (F) contradict fickle affection turning sour.
- Others like slandered ( B ) imply attack, ousted ( C ) implies removal-neither captures subtle sidelining early on.
Key Vocabulary
- Propitious: favorable or auspicious.
- Fickle: changeable, unreliable.
