  1. (A) swift because it’s the opposite of “long history of…disagreement”
  2. (A) distorting…a neutral because the “writers interpose their own vision” AKA they distort it. Neutral is the opposite of distorted.

Interpose means to put in between. Thus, a writer interposing their own vision means that they are putting their vision in between the reader and reality, which causes a distortion.
