Isadora Duncan's masterly writings on the dance reveal
the depth of her determination to create a lyric form of the art
which was free of characterization, storytelling, and the
theatrical exhibition of skills. She wished to discard the
traditional methods and established vocabularies of such dance
forms as ballet and to explore the internal sources of human
expressiveness. She shunned bodily ornamentation and
strove to use only the natural movements of her body,
undistorted by acrobatic exaggeration and stimulated only by
internal compulsion. In her recitals Duncan danced to the music
of Beethoven, Wagner, and Gluck, among others, but,
contrary to popular belief, she made no attempt to visualize or
to interpret the music; rather, she simply relied on it to provide
the inspiration for expressing inner feelings through movement.

题目中的argumentative是有批判的意思吗?? 我选的是"rather, she simply relied on it to provide
the inspiration for expressing inner feelings through movement. " 答案是"She shunned bodily ornamentation and strove to use only the natural movements of her body, undistorted by acrobatic exaggeration and stimulated only by internal compulsion." 如果是批判的意思就大概明白啊。。。。
