Ниже представлен разбор и ответы на пропуски.
Как выбрать мятые варианты:
- Пропуск после "rather" logically продолжает фразу и соответствует фрагменту 3: "than for its social, political, or moral 'value'."
- Пропуск в части "but, , it questions" лучше всего заполнить фрагментом 4: "like the Aesthetic movement."
- В третьем пропуске можно вставить фрагмент 1: "which was very popular at that time" (для связки о популярности движения).
- Фрагмент 2 оказывается лишним (не нужен для заполнения пропусков).
Итог заполняемых пропусков:
- 1-й пропуск — 3
- 2-й пропуск — 4
- 3-й пропуск — 1
- лишний номер — 2
Краткое пояснение по каждому шагу:
- Первый пропуск: "art for art's sake rather than for its social, political, or moral 'value'." — это классическое противопоставление эстетизма, поэтому подходит 3.
- Второй пропуск: "...not a straightforward tale of aesthetic pleasure, but, like the Aesthetic movement, it questions the bourgeois morality..." — здесь нужно сравнение с движением, чтобы读 звучало: "but, like the Aesthetic movement, ..." (2-й вариант 4).
- Третий пропуск: "...The Aesthetic movement that developed in late 19th-century Europe and Britain, which was very popular at that time, emphasised..." — добавляет информацию о популярности движения (вариант 1).
- Вариант 2 остаётся неиспользованным (лишний).
