选项

答案C,F,H

解析 The best answers are C, profound; F, underscores; and H, eclectic. The point of the paragraph is that this author is an insightful thinker, and that her fiction reflects it, being inspired by diverse intellectual sources. Profound reflects the idea of insight. Conventional would not demonstrate insight, while recondite means "obscure," and is usually applied to things, rather than people. The second blank shows how her fiction illustrates, emphasizes, or underscores her insight; stymies means "bogs down," which does not apply, and pinpoints means "locates": The fiction is not used to locate her insight, it merely reflects it. The final blank should reflect the wide array of interesting intellectual works that share her themes: These are a broad selection, and therefore eclectic. Relevant would not work in the context of the sentence(relevant to what?), and vapid indicates a lack of substance, which one hopes does not apply to recognized philosophical works.
