Art Historian: When a viewer experiences a sense of awe while looking at a hyper-realistic landscape painting, the viewer is structurally isolated from the physical reality of that landscape. Lacking the visceral physical stakes of standing in an actual geographic environment, the aesthetic responses evoked by art are appreciated as formal constructs independent of ___1___. Consequently, the viewer can find exhilaration even in terror when it is directed at the subjects of a painted canvas, because the artwork's artistic value consists partly in its ability to safely evoke such ___2___.
Select options to fill in the two blanks above to most coherently complete the art historian's statements. Make only two selections, one in each column.

See, this wasn't hard to me at all. You need to follow the flow of the sentence. Basically, what is being said in the first line is that while viewing a painting, a person is detached from the physical reality of the landscape. That essentially means that people, regardless of their physical environments can analyze a painting. This is the (1) blank.
The second part talks about the emotions that are evoked by viewing paintings that are potentially distressing. It insinuates that a person can feel some sort of excitement even when the subject matter, which is the painting in this case, is set on dangerous, depraved themes. Why are they able to do that safely? Because they're in a physical environment that's detached from the one the painting is set on. So, the artistic value of the work depends on the ability to evoke a range of distressing emotions DESPITE the differences in the physical surroundings. That's the (2) blank.
