Literature is inevitably a ------- rather than ------medium
for the simple reason that writers interpose
their own vision between the reader and reality.
(A) distorting … a neutral
(B) transparent. .an opaque
© colorful…a drab
(D) flawless … an inexact
(E) flexible … a rigid
According to me, it should be A. “for the reason” indicates support. So the first phrase has to have the same meaning as the second. In the second, it is stated that writes put in between the reader and reality something, thus literature has to be an interposing medium. The second blank is in contrast to this. Therefore it has to be something like transparent, etc. The only answer that makes sense is therefore A.
