the answers are right.
 no. 1 was hard. here mutability of purpose suits best than the sense of purpose and gives a meaningful idea as a sentence. in no. 3, rapprochmennt is the best choice for first blank, i made the mistake in haste  besides, analytical philosophers and film theorists can better be described as from two different disciplines rather than sects Quote:

Quote:
a) militancy doesnt fit in the first blank, coz "coolness of judgement" and "a militancy of purpose" doesnt give any meaningful idea. b) for the second blank "incompatible" looks ok, and for the first blank, "a sense of purpose" looks quite odd, because its not a subject to be brought in the civil and military affairs. lets keep this choice. c) "inconsistent" can be placed in the second blank. considering the previous phrase "coolness of judgment", "mutabiliity" can be placed in the first blank, here the keyword is and, which facilitates to move the idea forward. but is another clue here which is used as thought reversal. this is the best choice surpassing b. d) "direction" doesnt fit in the first blank, for the same reason as in b. "auxiliary" cant fit in the second blank and this pair doesnt make any sense. e) for the same reason as in b and d, this pair also doesnt give any substantial idea. Quote:
b) "acceptance" can be ok in the first blank, "affiliations" doesnt suitably fit in the second blank. coz analytical philosophers and film theorist are not at all affiliated to each other. c) this is the best choice. coz "rapprochment .... disciplines" pair gives us a clear meaning of the idea. rapprochment means the reestablishment of coordial relations. moreover analytical philosophy and film theory can be considered as two different disciplines. d) considering the flow of the sentence "camaraderie" doesnt fit properly in the particular case. it actually means goodwill or light hearted rapport among friends. "sect" actually means a group of people forming a distinct unit within a larger group. nonetheless, its not better than c. e) in the first blank, "dissonance" can be discarded for the same reason as in a. again the pair "dissonance .... school" doesnt convey any sense. hope i am clear
