Breakdown:
a. mentioned few specific and many misleading and ambiguous suggestions for new taxes (WRONG)
-> The use of 'and' between 'specific' and 'misleading' seems incorrect to me. The sentence definitely doesn't make sense to me.
b. few specifics but numerously misleading and ambiguous suggestions for new taxes
-> 'few specifics' refers to what...? The politician's speech, .... ,few specifics, the construction is incorrect.
c. included few specific suggestions and many misleading and ambiguous proposals for new taxes
-> Two lists here: 1) few specific suggestions 2) many misleading and ambiguous proposals... this is correct! It delivers the meaning clearly as well.
d. included few specific suggestions for new taxes, and numerous misleading and ambiguous ones
->'new taxes' is redundant here since the politician's speech is anyway about the need to raise taxes and that's clearly mentioned in the non-underlined portion. Also, 'ones' is used as a pronoun at the end but I am not sure whether it's referring to 'taxes' or to the 'suggestions', it's vague in that sense.
e. neglected to suggest new taxes in any specific form but mentioned numerous misleading and ambiguous suggestions
-> The meaning is changed in this answer choice and so has the tone. Secondly, 'but' triggers a shift in the argument, but it doesn't in this answer choice. This is incorrect.
