Explanation:

Correct answer is (b). Fragment A is incorrect due to use of ‘hush which means ‘whisper’. The correct word would be usher which means to ‘bring in’. Fragment B is incorrect due to incorrect tense- ruin instead of ruined. Fragment D is incorrect due to use of chivalry which means gallantry and does not make sense here. The correct word is chicanery which means deception.
Fragment C is correct. Correct: The elections in Zimbabwe were meant to usher in a new era for a country ruined by nearly four decades of misrule by Robert Mugabe but the vote and its aftermath have showcased an all-too-familiar mix of chicanery and violence on the part of the ruling party.
Hence, option B is correct.
