vindicate:to free from allegation or blame，（证明清白）。unmistakable：not capable of being mistaken or misunderstood（确切的）。unverifiable:unable to be confirmed or verified an unverifiable rumor(无法确定的）。
综合上下文，由前文unraveling（揭露）可知这里填一个能体现揭露的词，所以B最合适。A，这里没有洗脱罪责，证明清白的意思。C意思完全相反。
另外当时我做这道题的时候，倒是觉得games这个选项蛮诡异的_(:з」∠)_

懂了，unmistakable总是记成完美的意思，看了韦氏也没纠正过来。。games我理解的是redemption 和responsibility 都是正向意义的词，鉴于空格后面that解释把 once-solid entity(正向）变成了the most notorious 所以空格应该填负向意义的吧，答案解释的是从concocting "value" out of thin air看出tricky也对吧
