Although movie critic Pauline Kael had a distaste for sycophantic, she also had a need for obeisance ; as a consequence of these competing feelings, she sent very mixed signals to friends and colleagues. 
雖然影評人Pauline Kael討厭人家捧她，但是她也要別人尊敬她；作為這個矯情的結果，友人和同事對她的表現感到矇B阿
來源：GRE考古題
原題：
Although movie critic Pauline Kael had a distaste for sycophantic, she also had a need for (i)_____; as a consequence of these competing feelings, she sent very (ii)_____ signals to friends and colleagues. 
Blank(i) Blank(ii)
(A)solitude (D)direct
(B)obeisance (E)subtle
(C)clarity (F)mixed
 

解題方式：

Although出現，前後兩個小子句邏輯取反，前面有個distaste屬於負向字，所以後面空個一就要選個正向的去平衡，然後這裡認識sycophantic會比較理想，這樣可以直接選出(B)obeisance

然後後面competing feelings就直接對應(F)mixed，有衝突就會混沌
sycophantic(adj) 奉承的
solitude(n)獨居
obeisance(n)敬重
claruty(n)清晰
subtle (adj) 事情安排得很好而讓人無法察覺的，所以會有微妙的、微小的、狡猾的等翻譯
文法分析：
as a consequence of these competing feelings,這裡的as是作為的意思，因為as後面是加上名詞，所以當介系詞用

以上供大夥參考，個人筆記內容有誤再請指教!!!
