求助一道KMF1100上的双空题

Recently the novelist has (i)_____ the radically experimental forms with which he made
his reputation in favor of more (ii)_____ narratives, fencing in and turning an imagination
meant to run wild.
A. trumpeted D. conventional
B. forsaken E. pretentious
C. replicated F. provocative

答案给的是BD，但我觉得是答案错了，我选的是BF.
首先最后的无头句的逻辑主语是the novelist，fencing in的意思是限制，turn an imagination (which is meant to run wild)意思是转变那种狂野的肆无忌惮的想象力。所以第一空也应该说他最近转变了原来的那种肆无忌惮的风格，所以 the radically experimental forms 和 fencing in and turning an imagination meant to run wild同意重复,填一个和fence in ,turn同义的词，那就是forsake放弃，说明他放弃了这种肆无忌惮激进的想法；第二空with which和修饰的是 the radically experimental forms，并且前面说的是has forsaken，后面说的是made his reputation，一个现在一个以前，有时间对比啊，所以forsake和时间对比两次取反直接取同了，说的就是他以前通过这种激进的形式获得了一个怎样的名声，那当然应该是激进了。不是很懂为什么答案选conventional，直接反了啊。

这里的 In favor of 相当于 in order to get, for 的意思，或者你把语序换一下就明白了。

Recently, in favor of more (ii)_____ narratives, the novelist has (i)_____ the radically experimental forms with which he made his reputation, fencing in and turning an imagination
meant to run wild.

Recently, in  ...

为什么可以把这里的in favor of理解成in order to呢，难道不能把它理解成只是修饰reputation的吗

可以是 forsake something (in favor of)  也可以是 make something (in favor of)

为什么是前者而不是后者是因为：

1. 标点符号
the radically experimental forms 和 with which he made his reputation 之间没有逗号说明这个从句不会是个特别复杂的句子，否则很容易产生歧义。

2. 语义（最重要的）
如果按照你的理解。。。 这里的more + adj. 和前面的 radically experimental 的搭配就很怪异了。因为 radical 的反面是 not radical at all 或者 conventional，而不是 less provocative （注意这里more换成了less因为该理解在原句里是以前比现在more provocative，而这里顺序换为现在比以前less provocative）。

谢谢,确实发现那个in favor of是和forsake正好取反的，今天还碰巧发现一道也是in favor of容易产生“错觉”的一道题。
There is frequently a protracted time interval between the introduction of an innovative musical composition and its public acceptance; the concert-going public often spurns the _____ in favor of the familiar for a prolonged period.
A. comprehensive
B. intricate
C. novel
D. original
E. intelligible
F. complex
这里是spurn...in favor of...正好构成一个反义重复，答案是CD
