Re-stating the given item to analyze what is present and what is missing:
The question reads: "The president, ____ was the de jure leader of the country, did nothing without the advice of his fascist adviser, ____ was the de facto leader." The provided data shows an answer field with "who ... who" and an empty list for answer_options. This means the original multiple-choice options are not supplied, which prevents evaluating which option correctly completes the sentence.

What is visible about the sentence structure:
- The sentence uses two appositive/relative-clause insertions set off by commas: one after "The president," and another after "adviser,".
- The likely intended grammar is to fill each blank with a relative pronoun to introduce a nonrestrictive relative clause describing the noun immediately before it, i.e., something like: "The president, who was the de jure leader of the country, did nothing without the advice of his fascist adviser, who was the de facto leader."
- Using "who" for both blanks would be appropriate if both insertions refer to people (the president and the adviser). However, the exact options would determine the correct choice, such as pronouns like "who" or "which" or possibly rephrased fragments if the test expects a different structure.

Given there are no answer options to evaluate, here is how you would approach choosing the correct option if options were present:
- Rule of appositive relative clauses: For a person as the subject immediately preceding, use "who" to introduce a nonrestrictive clause. Therefore, the first blank would typically be filled with "who was the de jure leader".
- For the second blank describing the adviser, also a person, the natural choice is "who was the de facto leader".
- Check punctuation: The two nonrestrictive clauses should be separated by the main clause in a way that maintains clarity; both commas around each relative clause help set off the additional information.

If the test intended a different grammatical approach (for instance, a missing relative pronoun plus a verb form), you would compare each option to see which yields grammatical coherence and correctly conveys the intended meaning: that the president was the legally recognized leader, while the adviser held actual influence.

In summary, to proceed correctly, you would need the actual list of answer options. As provided, the data is incomplete, making it impossible to select the right choice or to critique each option individually. Once the options are available, evaluate each by:
- Verifying the relative pronoun agrees with the antecedent (president/adviser) and correctly introduces the descriptive clause.
- Ensuring the comma placement maintains the nonrestrictive nature of the clauses.
- Confirming the overall meaning aligns with the intended depiction of de jure vs. de facto leadership.
