請各位幫忙解答英語幾道填空題吧
1.That she seemed to prefer____ to concentrated effort is undeniable;nevertheless, the impressive quality of her finished paintings suggests that her actual relationship to her art was anything but____
A.preparation...passionate
B.artfulness...disengaged
C.dabbling...superficial
D.caprise...considered
E.indecision...lightheared
答案選的C,不過后面半句話已經(jīng)說了這個人的作品很impressive,為什么第二個空還選superficial啊,這不是矛盾了么?

2.MacCrory's conversation was_____:she could never tell a story,chiefly because she always forgot it, and she was never guity of a witticism, unless by accident.
A.scintillating
B.unambiguous
C.perspicuous
D.stultifying
E.facetious
答案選的A,不過我想知道這句話怎么理解,never tell a story而且又always forgot,這不是說明這個人表達能力不好么,怎么后面又跟一句witticism?
麻煩解釋一下.我不懂這句話的意思啊.
