Countless generations have been divided on Mendelssohn’s ____________—should he inhabit the same pantheon as Bach and Haydn, or be ____________ to the ranks of could-have-beens? After all, it can be argued that his ____________ came at the age of 14 with his Octet in E-flat, a work, many believe, the composer never eclipsed in his remaining twenty-six years.

Blank (i)
technique
posterity
legacy

legacy是因为作者已经去世，所以他的作品被称为legacy？
那么technique不可以是因为后文提到了M的一个作品而非他的技术？

Blank (ii)
relegated
elevated
sublimated
Blank (iii)
apogee
precocity
nadir

这题看得不是很懂。。作者遗留下来的东西就算是legacy吧 后面有提到 （his Octet in E-flat, a work），遗产；遗赠 A legacy is money or property which someone leaves to you when they die.
至于technique，题目中并没有提到。technique：a method of doing something using a special skill that you have developed

嗯嗯，我也觉得只能这么想
做题的时候觉得legacy应该是遗产，没想到还可以是作品

此处legacy和作品无关，综合句意，表示Mendelsson的身后事。sth that happens or exists  as a result of things that happened at an earlier time
如何对这位音乐家盖棺定论,无数代人争论不休：是该把他归入可与巴赫或海顿相提并论的大师，还是降格为伤仲永之列？毕竟，他的巅峰时刻年仅14，即创作了八重曲E-flat，很多人都认为他余生26年都生活于这部作品的阴影之下。（即他再没有创作出超越该部作品的作品）

还可以这样理解啊！高手！！

再请教一下：The theoretical physicist, despite his mathematical training, oftentimes must deal with questions that fall under the realm of the philosophical. Nonetheless, he will often marshal formulae when they serve to ____________ a theory, notwithstanding the fact that many such theories are not ____________ empirical analysis, as those theories deal with questions whose answers may ultimately be unknowable.

Blank (i)
undermine
conflate
undergird
Blank (ii)
unrelated to
commensurate with
amenable to

第一空从哪里看出来是支持呢？后面不是讲这个理论对现实无益吗？
另外第二空，E是相匹配的，是语法不搭吗？

把握本句的总体基调。
句首就做了很好的铺垫。
这位理论物理学家，尽管接受的是数学训练，却不得不经常处理哲学范畴的问题。然而，他会经常编排公式，在这些公式有助于____理论的时候，而不管这一事实，即很多此类理论不是____ 经验分析，因为这些理论处理的很可能是在终极意义上没有答案的问题。

RevrieRiverUID: 3470313

既然他经常不得不面对哲学问题，那么他不应该是去编排罗列公式的，而他却要这么做，应该有理由，那就是这些公式有助于证明、支持某个理论的时候，第一空选undergird

RevrieRiverUID: 3470313

第二空选amenable to 表示适宜于，是最佳答案。后面的分句做了最好的提示，commensurate with在语义上不贴切

大神能求助一道题目吗？非常感谢

Heinrich Feyermahn, in insisting that Galileo did not fully uphold the tenets of scientific rationalism, does not ____________ the Italian astronomer, but rather the very edifice of Western thought. For if Galileo is the purported exemplar of rational thinking, and yet is ____________, then the history of science cannot be understood as an endless succession of scientists carrying out their work free of all-too-human biases. Thus, Feyermahn admonishes, in faithfully chronicling the sweep of science in the last 300 years, historiographers would be ____________ not to include the human foibles that were part of even the most ostensibly Apollonian endeavors.  

Blank (i)
exclusively implicate
partially repudiate
fully espouse
Blank (ii)
found wanting
considered enlightened
dismissed as inconsequential
Blank (iii)
prudent
remiss
contrarian
