To 'deliver on' promises means to fulfill or carry out what was promised. The sentence implies he made grand promises but failed to fulfill them, which is why confidence was lost. 'Forgot about' and 'retreated from' don't capture the sense of obligation.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Transparent means allowing light to pass through so objects behind can be clearly seen - exactly what's being described. The comparison to a clear window pane makes it clear that transparency is the key quality. Fragile means breakable, immaculate means perfectly clean, and iridescent means showing rainbow colors.

D Correct answer
Explanation

To belie means to give a false impression or contradict. His voting record contradicted (gave the lie to) his stated friendship with peasants. Implied and created would mean the voting record supported the false impression. Confirmed would mean it proved true, which is the opposite of what's needed.
