Correct Answers: B. deception and E. duplicity
Explanation
The phrase "blatant _______ " calls for a noun describing obvious, shameless dishonesty. Both deception and duplicity mean deceitfulness or underhandedness, and they are exact synonyms-perfect for a Sentence Equivalence question.
The sentence lists a range of troubles: from erratic customer support (operational unreliability) to blatant deception/duplicity (ethical wrongdoing). This creates a logical span from poor service to outright dishonesty.
Why Not A/C?
A. incompetence and C. ineptitude are synonyms, but "erratic customer support" is already a form of incompetence/ineptitude, so the range would be redundant rather than spanning distinct kinds of trouble.
Completed sentence:
"Startups eager to capitalize on the platform's explosive and closely watched user base have more than once run into trouble spanning everything from erratic customer support to blatant deception / duplicity."
