  2. shams ... ... trail

  3. literals ... ... bounce

A Correct answer
Explanation

Options (3) and (4) are ruled out because “literals” and 'official's do not co-ordinate with deceivers in the sentence, as they are opposite in meaning. On same lines, 'candidness' in (5) is also ruled out. Masters may spring up, not trail up. Hence (1) is the answer.
