In the ETS Practice Test 1 Pasley passage, early editors are described as 'disingenuously' stating that they aimed to tell all sides of a story. In context, 'disingenuously' most nearly means

Aguilelessly
Binsincerely
Cobliquely
Dresolutely
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. insincerely
Pasley's claim is that neutrality was not a real goal even when editors said it was. 'Disingenuously' must therefore mean 'insincerely' to fit the contrast. 'Guilelessly' means the opposite; 'obliquely' means indirectly; 'resolutely' means firmly. ETS keys 'insincerely' as the answer.
