Gullibility is a failure of social intelligence in which a person is easily tricked or manipulated into an ill-advised course of action. It is closely related to credulity, which is the tendency to believe unlikely propositions that are unsupported by evidence.

As he was a gullible leader his followers took advantage of him
His Gullibility made his followers to take advantage of him by manipulating him.
it c pls..when one is simple minded to a fault means f**lish,unsophisticated and sily that he lacks insight by so he can be easily deceived
When a leader is being described as "weak". It simply means he has no influence and cannot take any decisive actions. Mentally he's just too weak.
I think even with your explanation the answer should be simple minded to a fault because we are to take a look at the underlined word gullible and not the whole sentence. Gullible meaning easily tricked or f**led into ill advised action. and this shows a lack of intelligence on his part and that's exactly what being simple minded means. Gullibility has nothing to do with weakness but Intelligence. So please review again
