For 14, it says "an art form had to be capable of many things to many people in order to appeal to a large audience." To me this suggests the opposite of D. D says the audience was especially favorable whereas the passage is saying the audience was especially difficult being a cultural melting pot.
Read carefully. The author explicitly tells us in line 37 that this social flux was the reason that this complex dance was able to become so popular.
Question 17 asks what answer choice can be inferred from the passage.
I battled between answer choices B and E,
I was thinking B because in the third paragraph it speaks on mimetic vertigo
Then I was thinking E because it states how they used her cakewalk as a means of bolstering their social Identities, and I thought this related to how the different cultures would create their own paradoxes
Can you explain why answer choice B would not be it because you spoke about illuminating passages and pretending they weren't there, but I don't entirely understand that method?
Hm. I don't understand this part of your question at all: "because you spoke about illuminating passages and pretending they weren't there."
I can say that (B) is wrong because the passage does not tell us that the interactions between African- and European-American forms often result in "mimetic vertigo."
But the passage does say that (E) is true, in the last two sentences of the passage.
Clearer?
