With people swayed by this wrong (2)_____ that there is little use in arguing, either for history or literature, or for poetry or music, or for the arts (3)_____.
With others, there is still faith that any civilization worthy of the name must be (4)_____ in a ceaseless pursuit of truth. Whether truth is (5)_____ through study or through the arts makes no difference. Any pursuit of truth is not only (6)_____; it is the foundation stone of civilization.

It is only in a few institutions, subjected to (10)_____ misinformation, that events like the Industrial Revolution are (11)_____ entirely to the historians, the social scientists, or the physical scientists. Only within the past hundred years have historians (12)_____ that what people have done in literature and art is a part of their history.

选项
A、amateurs
B、specialists
