请教一道OG的双空题

vicipeteUID: 3363516

Like Bela Bartok, Ruth Crawford not only brought a composers acumen to the
notation of folk music, she also had a marked _____ the task. This was clear in her
agonizing over how far to try to represent the minute details of a performance in a written text, and this ____ makes her work a landmark in ethnomusicology.
Blank (i) Blank (ii)
A reverence for D fastidiousness
B detachment from E didacticism
C curiosity about F iconoclasm

这道题选A、D。


不理解题中“agonizing over how far to try to represent the minute details of a performance in a written text”里面的how far做什么成分、什么意思?一开始做的时候看到agonizing over how far...，以为题目要表达非常negative的感觉，直接选了B、F。

望各位多多帮助。

agonizing over how far就是纠结XXX到了痛苦的地步，也就是说，这位音乐家就represent the minute details of a performance in a written text到底要做到什么程度，都让自己痛苦了。

个人浅见，这题可以这么做

看到She also,可以看出是个褒义词，递进关系。往后继续看，看完agonizing, minutes details后，得知此人对细节十分讲究（正），然后第二空等于这种讲究细节的优良品质，所以第二空选D.

回过头，第二空句子结尾得知，这种——给了她一个里程碑式的地位，所以第一空选择A。

"agonizing over how far to try to represent the minute details of a performance in a written text" means "he always feels painful and entangled about to which extent the minute detail should be displayed(he can't decide whether he should represent minute details to shallow or deep extent and this really makes him feel painful)". So this characteristic is obviously fastidiousness and the tone of the whole sentence is positive. Thus, A and D is correct.
另外我觉得how far你不比过于纠结，也可以理解为whether he should include few or many minute details.
总之，句子表达的是这个人追求完美的品质
