A Correct answer
Explanation

The operative word in this sentence is 'difference' (though connected by 'and' but would be replaced by contrary words). 'Charlatan' and 'quack', 'pinchbeck' and 'tempting', 'neoteric' and 'naïve', 'sterling' and 'unfeigned' do not highlight the difference, hence, (1) is the answer.
