4. Scholarly works on detective stories often begin with (i)______, suggesting that there is
something vaguely wrong with adults who spend their time reading such fiction and certainly
something (ii)______ those who devote energy to its analysis.

第一空为什么填B呢？

Blank (i) Blank (ii)
A. chronologies D. awry in
B. apologies E. astute about
C. synopses F. courageous about


One of the vocalists who auditioned for a leading part in the local production of Sweeney Todd
seemed to prefer _______ to any attempt at producing a melody: a more unpleasant voice was
hard to imagine.

PS，这一个句子冒号后面的部分可以理解为：不可能有更难听的声音了？怎么感觉没有这么说的吧

个人感觉是这样的~
句子的后面是两个并列句，there is something wrong XXX and there is something ____，根据and前后方向一致的原理，第二空选择awry。

现在就是什么东西能够表示出有something wrong和something awry，“编年史”和“摘要”都不一定会有这种暗示，只有“apology”才会有。因为想想apology一般都是“哎呀我错了，这地方我做的不对blablabla”
而且apology在大韦氏里的解释：a statement saying that you are sorry about something : an expression of regret for having done or said something wrong 链接在下方~

所以选BD

嗯嗯，只能这样理解了，感觉这套500里好多句子都特别别扭，应该是题目没有完全还原吧
第一题怎么理解呢？
