Read the following passage:
"For twenty-four years, Martha had ruled the sound library with a silent, digital scalpel. Her task was the purification of the archive: stripping away the hiss of decaying lacquer, the intrusive clicks of old turntables, and the heavy, humid breaths of long-dead speakers. To Martha, history was a voice suspended in a void; any ambient noise was a form of corruption, a failure of preservation. She took a cold pride in rendering the past perfectly sterile.
Then came the cylinders of Silas Vance, a minor nineteenth-century poet who had died in obscurity. On the final track, Vance began to recite his last lyric, his voice a dry rustle. Midway through, he stopped. For forty seconds, there was only the erratic patter of rain against a window pane and the shudder of Vance’s lungs—a ragged, wet gasp that lingered in the wax. Martha’s fingers hovered over the keys, ready to excise the rain, to smooth over the gasp, to restore the track to its clinical silence.
But as she replayed the silence, the sound of the rain seemed to swell, filling the empty room with the damp cold of a hundred years ago. The gasp was not a blemish; it was the very shape of Vance's final, unspoken thought. To delete it was to erase the man himself. Slowly, Martha lowered her hands. She saved the file, noise and all, and wrote in the catalog logbook not 'recording restored,' but 'ambient reality preserved.' She sat back, listening to the rain on the recording mingle with the quiet traffic outside, no longer feeling the need to lock the world out."
In the passage, Martha’s decision to preserve the rain and Vance’s gasp on the recording represents a significant shift in her values. Which of the following best describes this shift?
- AA transition from following strict archival guidelines to expressing the author’s own belief that modern technology corrupts historical truth
- BA resolution of a conflict between Martha’s professional duty to the library and her personal dislike of Silas Vance's poetry
- A shift from valuing clinical preservation and historical purity to accepting the emotional resonance of human vulnerabilityCevap
- DA shift from doubting the narrator’s description of Martha’s skill to naively accepting the narrator's claim that Martha possesses absolute objective judgment
- EAn appreciation for Silas Vance’s poetic genius, which fails to recognize how Vance's raw vocal vulnerability highlights Martha’s own initial emotional detachment
