Explanation

The electorate think that the President is a savage person about economic issues, but indeed he is not or not always the time. As such, B,E, and I are the answers.

Who not A or C? Why does it have to be B in this particular case?

It is pivotal in the view of the electorate. The other two are out of scope.

Ask if you need further explanation.

Please explain in detail.

The electorate of a nation, and the people, in general, think that the President is the main reason or one of the main reasons because of the economy is doing well.

This assumption, however, is not true. Moreover, every new Presidental election actually every four years ends up to a referendum about the presidency capacity to lead the economy.

But, the economy itself has such behaviors that even the most skillful Economy Professors or Nobel Prize winner have hard times to figure out due to the immense complexity.

The conclusion is that the President really is not able to set up what we still do not know fully.

Now, in the flowing of the sentence, only B,E and I fit the economy of the sentence as a whole.

Very Good Question .

We should tackle this Blank by Blank , With Blank iii) being the easiest to fill ,Unfortunately modern elections.....UNTENABLE PROMISE ....Produce Economic Results . The Word Untenable and the whole sentence points out that The Economic Outcome is not something that is fixed or completely in the hands of The President. So we use Option I) as the other Options Long Lasting & Unnoticeable make no sense to the context.

For Blank ii) Since the effects of the Economic Outcome whether Positive or Negative , the Positive return or Surge in Economic Performance is Wrongly attributed / taken credit or related to the President for his electoral benefit so we use Option E)

Now Blank i) It is logical & inferential for the Economic Management / Issue being Central & of utmost importance to the Electoral Politics , as the President is trying to take credit / being attributed for the Economic Rise , anything Peripheral or Unimportant makes no sense.

So I chose B, F& I. I did not choose E because the passage sounded neutral and E seemed a bit too harsh to fit the tone. Can anyone provide more guidance here?

mhhh interesting observation

The tone of the sentence is important because you do know from it if the sentence itself is negative or positive or else

However, in the blank questions you have to fit the blanks based on your logic than a feeling which is for instance implied more in the tone of the passage in CR and RC or in main idea of the RC, which is NOT a question of pure logic

In this case, the fortuitous economic cycle is wrongly attributed to the president, which clearly is not

E is the best
