Reading the passage
The jazz discussion gives us concrete details, including musicians' use of European-influenced theater songs. We need a statement actually made about jazz, rather than a claim borrowed from the debate about Ellison.
Working the answers
- A
Jazz's accessibility to a wide audience isn't assessed.
- B
There is no ranking of modern musical forms by complexity.
- CCorrect
Jazz has always remained receptive to different kinds of music (paragraph 3). The theater-song example shows what that openness looks like. Embracing other music restates the point.
- D
The political criticism concerns Ellison's art. We aren't told jazz avoids political themes.
- E
No broad influence on contemporary literature is established. Using jazz to interpret this novel doesn't demonstrate that it influenced much of contemporary literature.
