PP2 mock test2 一道句子对等题

wtttopUID: 3913556

The ex-minister’s real crime, in the eyes of his _____ political friends who subsequently abandoned him, was not so much that he was wrong as that he raised questions that must not be raised.
A erstwhile
B proxy
C false
D self–styled
E onetime
F surrogate

选ae，请问这道题解题思路是什么？ 是因为ex-minister吗？
谢谢~~~

这题用排除法比较好。
1.CD是酱油选项，那就看是proxy还是erstwile；
2.proxy friends就说不通了，可以说proxy/surrogate minister，his surrogate friends指的是substotude friends.
