Explanation

Clue for first blank comes from the phrase 'it won't read history', which implies that Americans are satisfied to the full by reading history textbooks. (1) and (3) both fits our prediction for first blank. 'Disguised' seems to replace the second blank instead of 'ordained' (commanded or established by law) as American public would read history textbooks only if they have a general title, i.e. disguised under different title. Hence, (3) is the answer.
