­Literary critic: When a reader feels an emotion that is focused

 

­Let us understand the para as doing so the solutions will become obvious.

The critic says that the reader does not personally feel the emotions exactly the way these are focused on the events and characters in a fictional works. The reason is the reader does not feel attached to those events.  

1. Lacking the immediacy of emotions about events in the reader’s own life, emotions evoked by fiction are enjoyed as pure sensations independent of ___1___.
The sensations are independent of ____.     The words event' in the reader's own life give away the answer. Other way to say this would be independent of real events. 
Also, the options give away the answer. 
beauty: Sensations independent of beauty. No, does not fit in
psychological detachment: The opposite could have fitted in - Sensations independent of attachment.
typically unpleasant emotions: Emotions evoked by fiction are enjoyed as pure sensations independent of typically unpleasant emotions.
fictional events: Emotions evoked by fiction are enjoyed as pure sensations independent of fictional events.
real events: Emotions evoked by fiction are enjoyed as pure sensations independent of Real events.
This fits in with our meaning.

2. Consequently, the reader can find pleasure even in sadness when it is focused on the events and characters in fictional works, because the work’s beauty consists partly in its ability to evoke such ___2___.­
The reader is finding pleasure even in sadness. The blank 2 is further talking of these emotions such as sadness, and the word that fits in from choices is typically unpleasant emotions.

I think we need psychological detachment as well for Two Part Analysis!

The explanation in the beginning mentions that events and the emotions are independent of each other.
Hence

1. Lacking the immediacy of emotions about events in the reader’s own life, emotions evoked by fiction are enjoyed as pure sensations independent of ___1___ (Emotion already exist, then it is independent of the event, which is real life would make better sense over fictional event)

2. Consequently, the reader can find pleasure even in sadness when it is focused on the events and characters in fictional works, because the work’s beauty consists partly in its ability to evoke such ___2___. (event already exist to evoke emotions)

For these fill in the blanks kind of questions, try to guess the answer yourself first without looking at options. What do you expect should come here. 

­Literary critic: When a reader feels an emotion that is focused on the events and characters in a work of fiction, the reader is somewhat psychologically detached from that emotion. Lacking the immediacy of emotions about events in the reader’s own life, emotions evoked by fiction are enjoyed as pure sensations independent of ___1___.

The sentence begins with "lacking the immediacy of emotions about events in own life..." It says that these emotions are not relatable to the reader's own life so they are enjoyed as sensations independent of ... and here I expect something to do with "reader's own life". Looking at the options I see "real events" is closest to it.
ANSWER: real events

Consequently, the reader can find pleasure even in sadness when it is focused on the events and characters in fictional works, because the work’s beauty consists partly in its ability to evoke such ___2___.­

So reader can find pleasure in sadness also (pleasure in unpleasant emotion) ... because the work's beauty is in its ability to evoke such ... Now I am looking for "unpleasant emotions." Why? Because "beauty in ..." should be parallel to "pleasure in sadness". Hence, "typically unpleasant emotions" works. 
ANSWER: typically unpleasant emotions­
