OG hard里面的题目求教

天薇凉UID: 3403940

The government’s implementation of a new code of ethics appeared intended to shore up the ruling party’s standing with an increasingly _________ electorate at a time when the party is besieged by charges that it trades favors for campaign money.
A aloof
B placid
C restive
D skittish
E tranquil
F vociferous
这个题选的是restive 和skittsh，没明白这个语义。既然besieged前面应该选一个正面的词，我当时选了placid和tranquil
明显是被诱导选项糊弄住了T T

Shore up是 support bolster的意思。
Government wants to support A's _____ condition at which A is in peril.
这样就太明显了吧

ETS出题就喜欢 Blah一堆，剃掉没用的抓主干

在多问一句哈，OG的官方解说中讲"Aloof fits the blank reasonably well, but there is no other word offered...", aloof为何么会合适这个空呢？

这里aloof的意思not friendly
跟restive非常类似，如果再出个inimical就可以选了。
这里就是形容这个election，aloof是说这个election不太顺利
