　　Explanation

　　1.The correct answer is A

　　To be “cognizant of” something is to be informed about or aware of it. The sentence indicates that the reporter’s interview techniques were allegedly unethical — that is, the reporter was accused of using techniques that do not conform to approved standards. If the editor was unaware of the reporter’s journalistic practices, he could plausibly deny any knowledge of — and responsibility for — her techniques, whether ethical or unethical. Therefore, it makes sense to suggest that the editor would claim that he was cognizant of only the reporter’s finished work and not her journalistic practices.

　　2.The correct answer is B

　　Choice (B is correct. If the play is an “ungainly,” or clumsy, mixture of different elements, an honest critic would justifiably describe it as a “hodgepodge,” or a disorganized jumble.

　　3.The correct answer is B

　　Choice (B is correct. The structure of the sentence indicates that the word that fills in the blank will be explained by the part of the sentence that follows the colon. We are told that Gordon Parks adapted the screenplay for The Learning Tree "from his own novel," wrote music for the film, and directed the film. Because of his involvement in several different aspects of the film, it makes sense to describe Parks as "protean," or demonstrating great variety and diversity.

　　4.The correct answer is D

　　Burgess believes that preaching or sermonizing is not appropriate in good fiction.
