OE
The sentence suggests a difference between a scholarly discipline’s attentions to the visual versus the aural, with the latter being relatively ignored in favor of the former. The blank must therefore designate this attention, which “unconcerned with” and “indifferent to” do not. “Amused by” conveys a lesser degree of attention and a more positive affect than both “fxated on” and “obsessed with” and lacks another word that would produce a sentence with the same meaning.
Thus the correct answer is fxated on (Choice A) and obsessed with (Choice B).
