Bad guy/malingerer is unlikely to gain a reputation for reliability; Garth's poorly disguised excuses, however, were improbably interpreted by his fearfulness/ trepid, hypochondriac employer as a sign of great foresight and sagacity.

Embezzler and Pilferer is related to stealing/fraudulently use someone's property. So, malinger fits in.Garth's poorly disguised excuses, however, were improbably interpreted by his fearful/trepidadious and hypochondriac employer as a sign of great foresight and sagacity (fits well with great foresight/wisdom).

SPELLING MISTAKES!

(D) should be CAUSTIC, not causistic
(F) should be TREPIDATIOUS, not trepidadious
(G) should be INSIPIDITY, not insidipity

That said, I don't understand how the excuses could be seen as a "sign of great foresight and sagacity." I mean, excuses are excuses. How can they make a person look like he is sagacious and has great foresight? The sentence doesn't really make sense to me.

Fixed the typos.

As for the second blank is casuistic = practicing clever but unsound reasoning a sort of random fortune.

Honestly, this is a question far from the quality and charm of an official question, even though is a question from Manhattan GRE.

Stuffing a sentence with difficult words does not mean it is a good question from which you learn something really useful.

I agree with you 💯%.

In addition, IMHO, this sentence as a whole is not meaningful either.

You learn more from just only this one than half of the GRE questions out there - non-official of course

Try to spot the root of the word or if it reminds you of something similar

If nothing work, go with your feeling

(i) ___________ is unlikely to gain a reputation for reliability; Garth's poorly disguised excuses, however, were improbably interpreted by his (ii)_________ , hypochondriac employer as a sign of great foresight and (iii)_________.

An embezzler or pilferer can be reliable, but a malingerer, one who avoids work, is unlikely to gain a reputation for reliability.

A hypochondriac is one who is anxious about his health. The comma in between the blank and hypochondriac indicates that the word for the blank should be related in some way to hypochondriac. The word trepidatious means apprehensive or anxious and goes well with hypochondriac and is therefore the right word for the blank. The other two are way off the mark, though one may be misled by mistaking casuistic with caustic.

For the third blank, we need a word that is related to foresight and sagacity fits the bill perfectly.

The unofficial questions are always so artificial and don't make sense.
