求教一道三空~~

All too often scientists are quick to ____________ findings that ostensibly fail to mesh with their own research; nonetheless, such a response is
____________ compared to the ____________, if not downright contemptuous attitude they take towards a theory that questions the very foundation upon which their work rests.

其中这个“ if not downright contemptuous attitude they take......”到底是修饰主语还是修饰宾语，是修饰compare之前的一空，还是之后的一空~~~ 如果不看nonetheless之前的语义提示，仅从语法上分析，我理解的是修饰前面的，所以错了，因为dismissive理解不到位，语义转折也没用上

Blank (i)               Blank (ii)                                    Blank (iii)
discuss                 unquestionably vitriolic           complacent
doubt                 positively muted                     convivial                               
clutch at              slightly undiplomatic               dismissive

忘贴答案了~~doubt/positively muted/dismissive    第二空错成了vitriolic~

“____________, if not downright contemptuous”一起修饰attitude
你把if not downright contemptuous去掉，句子应该就能看懂了。

一战填空被虐了，二战想冲一冲~~最近恶补3空，做的一些Magoosh3空大概只能到5成准确率，虽然每次都提醒自己要注意结构注意选词，结果还是经常就被搞混了~~ 不是被句意打断思维就是无法有效识别结构~~ 求大神指点一下下吧  555~~
