单选题Directions: The next questions are based on the content of the following passage. Read the passage and then determine the best answer choice for each question. Base your choice on what this passage states directly or implies, not on any information you may have gained elsewhere. For each of Questions, select one answer choice unless otherwise instructed. Questions are based on the following passage. With Meredith's The Egoist we enter into a critical problem that we have not yet before faced in these studies. That is the problem Line offered by a writer of recognizably impressive (5) stature, whose work is informed by a muscu- lar intelligence, whose language has splendor, whose "view of life" wins our respect, and yet for whom we are at best able to feel only a passive appreciation which amounts, prac- (10) tically, to indifference. We should be unjust to Meredith and to criticism if we should, giving in to the inertia of indifference, sim- ply avoid dealing with him and thus avoid the problem along with him. He does not (15) "speak to us," we might say; his meaning is not a "meaning for us"; he "leaves us cold." But do not the challenge and the excitement of the critical problem as such lie in that ambivalence of attitude which allows us to (20) recognize the intelligence and even the splendor of Meredith's work, while, at the same time, we experience a lack of sympathy, a failure of any enthusiasm of response?
