1.As the finances of the energy-trading firm began unraveling, what eventually became (i)

问题主要在于两个题看完答案和解析后还是不知所云,不理解句子的意思。
第一题中的“thanks not to……”修饰的是谁?应该怎么理解这段话?
第二题也是,求翻译一下,解析一下句子的结构和意思?

我是这样理解的:

1.
由于前半句话提到了began unraveling, concocting "value" out of thin air (out of nowhere, out of nothing)[引用1],以及后面的nororious ,scandals, 可以判断该句对被讨论对象的看法是负面的。thanks not to (A) but to (B that ...) 是用来修饰前半句话的,可以拆成一个thanks to ...(修饰前半句), 一个not ... but... , 和一个从句。
抱歉我语法基础知识不好,什么从句什么从句名字不清楚,只知道是从句……
然后看空,已经清楚负面态度,那么第二个空的答案 ____ turned a once good thing into the very bad thing? D和E明显没有F更贴切。第三个空debacle也明显比其他两个要来得好。而且可以和前文的finances began unraveling呼应。
第一个空,后面已经通过thanks to .. 进行了说明, 因此unverifiable不合适, vindicated 表示被证明的, 被证实的, 那么被证实之前应该有previous warnings, 句子中没有提到,同时unmistakable没有缺点, 因此选了BFI.
(第一个空我是参考了http://gre.kaomanfen.com/question/b2b1nj.html的说法,
至于我自己的想法是这样: began unraveling, 那么很多东西都会被发现是mistake的, 但是"该公司的错误做法"是不会被mistaken的,因此是unmistakable)

整句话的大概意思就是:
随着能源交易公司的财政began to fail, 最终遗留下来不会被弄错的事情是这个公司一直在从子虚乌有中捏造"value",而这一切都要thanks to something, which is not trading strategies, but is the financial debacle.

2.
先看后面一句话,也就是iii空
the momentary iii_________ seems to come out of nowhere, as if someone blows a whistle only those in the know can hear, and suddenly ... scrawling all over... an obscure locale.后半句中的an obscure locale 对应 nowhere, 那么scrawling all over就应该对应iii______, 那么就是consensus了。
第二句表现的意思是 ...对next big thing共识就像忽然冒出来一样, 然后executives and journalists忽然就大量出现在一个原来很模糊的地带....
其中previously been an obscure locale应该对应第一句话中的cities at the edges of the cultural map, 那么产生的结果是什么呢? next big thing, 对应第二个空 shot of ii____ , 选originality好.
再看第一个空, 是怎样的一个(i_____) 已有的 popular music scene 需要 depend on cities at the edges来 make a shot of originality呢?  hidebound最合适, 表示已有的scene太保守了, 只能在新的地方make a shot of originality.
个人理解, 欢迎大家批评指正!
