我的问题，我不知道怎么入手解决这个题，抓不住key word

Answer 1

e

句意：她的小说最近受到批评，说它缺乏结构，这是非常令人困惑的，因为评论家们传统上认为这本小说最为明显的瑕疵在于它及其僵化、几近图解的结构。

It is puzzling to observe that her novel has recently been criticized for its__ structure, //since commentators have traditionally argued that its most obvious __ is its relentlessly rigid, indeed,schematic, framework.

首先，此句先把意群划分清楚。另外，structure和framework构成了一种呼应。而且，relentlessly rigid, indeed, schematic, framework本身就是一种缺点或缺陷，由此可以确定第二个空的。

仅供参考。
