问题 Invention was (i)________ the work of the ancient Greek historians, whose writings were filled with long and often purely fictitious speeches by great historical figures.

解析 空格(i):
- 方程等号:逗号,同义重复。
- 强词和对应:在古希腊历史学家的作品里,虚构是空格(i)的,这些历史学家的作品里充满了虚构的演讲。由invention和fictitious对应可知空格(i)应填入一个正向的词。discourage沮丧,hallmark典型特征,exceptional例外。答案选B。
空格(ii):
