第一题，but指示答案为gravity的反义词，而你的答案是同义词。
第二题，the true locus of experience的同义词。

1.区别
on the surface和near the surface。
on the surface表示表面上，也即表达的事物并不呈现此种性质。
near the surface表示近似，也即表达的事物呈现此种性质。
2.our belief that the present is the true locus of experience is undermined.
一种观点，现实是经验的集中，被削弱。
表明现实不是经验化的，而是真实化的。个人理解experience是偏向vivid反方向发展的。
