The serious study of popular culture by intellectuals is regularly credited with having rendered obsolete a once-dominant view that popular culture is inherently inferior to high art. Yet this alteration of attitudes may be somewhat (i) _________.

Blank (i) Blank (ii)
A counterproductive D penchant for G aversion to
B underappreciated E distaste for H Investment in
C overstated F indifference to I misunderstanding of
so here in this question, i chose underappreciated for 1st blank and my evidence was that it is contrast with the above sentence because of the word yet, and in first sentence it is stated that regularly credited means recognized so i chose option B but the correct option was overstated
Similarly, In second Blank, i choose the option Distaste for and the reason is that the word Although is used and it is now academically respected so i choose the option E but the correct option is Penchant for
and the third blank, i choose the option aversion for and the reason is it is supporting the previous idea with comma and this also becomes wrong
now the problem is that i am not finding the mistake, weather it is in finding the wrong clue words or in relationships or solving the blank Like, I tried to solve the first blank first, but when I read the explanation, it explained by solving the third blank first, so I don’t know where my mistake is.
