Old gre test 13 section 1 Q2 TC

i didnt understand the quest at all

Were you able to identify if it was a support or a contrast ? And the relationship b/w the two blanks ?

i actually identified the second blank opposite to what it should be.

after the semi-colon as we had no contrasting words it means the idea of sentence before the semi-colon equals idea of what is after it. Now, looking before the semi-colon we got actually (which setups up a contrast ) with draws attention. Thus , blank (i) will have the idea of “not draw attention”. Now, continuing to blank(ii) we know it the ideas should be similar and hence as we got hidden after the blank(ii)so, we put bring attention in it.

wow very nice explanation thanks.
also what does vice mean here??

I have no clue
