先把题贴上来：
Political advertising may well be the most (i)_________ kind of advertising : political candidates are usually quite (ii)_________, yet their campaign advertisements often hide important differences behind smoke screens of smiles and empty slogans.

Blank(i)                                              Blank(ii)
A.polemical                                        D. interchangeable
B.effective                                        E.dissimilar
C.deceptive                                     F.vocal

再贴上ets的解释：
Looking at Blank (i), it is hard to select a correct answer, since all three answer choices fit the immediate context well. Looking to the second part of the sentence, however, we can see such expressions as “hide” and “smoke screens,” both of which suggest that the correct answer for Blank (i) is “deceptive.” Making that assumption, we can go on to see that the answer for Blank (ii) is “dissimilar,” since what is deceptive about political advertisements is that they hide important differences. Reading the sentence again with “deceptive” and “dissimilar” in place confirms those choices.
Thus the correct answer is deceptive(Choice C) and dissimilar(Choice E)

楼主又一次把这道题选成了CF

yet后面那个句子难道不是说：这些候选人的宣传通过微笑和空洞的口号这样的“烟雾弹”来掩盖他们重要的区别吗？这里的differences韦氏词典有五个意思：

1 a : the quality or state of being different <the difference between right and wrong> b : an instance of differing in nature, form, or quality <noted the differences in color and texture> c archaic : a characteristic that distinguishes one from another or from the average d : the element or factor that separates or distinguishes contrasting situations

2 : distinction or discrimination in preference <timing is often the difference between success and failure>

3 a : disagreement in opinion : DISSENSION b : an instance or cause of disagreement <unable to settle their differences>

4 : the degree or amount by which things differ in quantity or measure specifically : REMAINDER 2B(1)

5 : a significant change in or effect on a situation <it makes no difference to me>

结合语境看，differences应该还是指的是”区别“的意思。

那么第二个空所在的那个句子
political candidates are usually quite (ii)_________, yet their campaign advertisements often hide important differences behind smoke screens of smiles and empty slogans.

通常政治候选者的差异很大，但是他们的宣传往往通过一些手段（smoke screens of smiles and empty slogans )来掩盖他们的重要差异。

这个怎么能够说明Political advertising很deceptive?

而且楼主觉得dissimilar 反映不出后面的smoke screens of smiles and empty slogans（烟雾弹）。

楼主做第二空的时候心里想的词是一个类似devious，invidious之类的；

搞不懂，求高人指点一下
