Blank(i) Blank(ii)
A.undermined by D.rejected

第二个空F没有问题,第一个空应该选什么?我觉得C挺对的啊,可是答案选b,inspire这里作何解释?
原题是这样的
For decades, economic ideas have been merchandized for political
purposes-- by economists who have peddled their pet theories as a
way of gaining public prominence or political appointment and by
politicians who have advertised economic doctrines as solutions to
the nation's social problems.
Filler claims that after the social welfare programs of the 1960s, belief that the government has an obligation to provide decent housing for citizens who cannot afford it was (i) in the United States by the notion that providing suitable shelter for everyone should be (ii) Thus today in the (iii)  of taxpayer-sponsored initiatives we have volunteer home-construction programs, honorable in intent but pitifully limited in scope.
after the social welfare programs of the 1960s这个表明在经过 the social welfare programs后,(ii)前的the notion也应该是变得具有social welfare特征,与这个相符(ii)应该填D.a shared civic responsibility;可以看出前面belief 和后面的notion不一致,所以(i)应该填A.supplanted;第三空思路,honorable in intent but pitifully limited in scope显然与taxpayer-sponsored initiatives不一致,因为是纳税人的钱不能说honorable in intent,所以(iii)应该是 G.absence。
以上仅是个人拙见,做错请楼主不要见怪。
Some academic criticism of popular novels has been (i)________ in character, being based on the assumption that the wider the appeal, the more (ii)________ the novel.
Blank(i) Blank(ii)
A. rigorous D. undesirable
B. exculpatory E. accomplished
C. elitist F. comprehensible
the wider the appeal, the more (ii)________ the novel(受众越广,越___)应该是对(i)的的解释,假如(ii)空选accomplished或comprehensible,则(i)空没有合适的选项;the wider the appeal, the more undesirable the novel也就是受众越广则越讨厌,这个不就和elitist(restricted to an elite)对应吗。
