The former mayor’s promise to raise funds is used as an example of the party’s attitude or actions toward the candidate. Since raising funds is a way of supporting a candidate, the words flling the blank must be positive rather than negative. Only two of the choices given, “rallying behind” and “coalescing around,” indicate a positive attitude toward the candidate; moreover, they also produce similar meanings, so they are the correct answer. Te other four choices indicate negative or indifferent attitudes toward the candidate that would not be exemplifed by promises of fund-raising.
Thus the correct answer is rallying behind (Choice A) and coalescing around (Choice F).
