Question: 176
11. A ------ of several musical forms including the blues, gospel, and Western swing, rock and roll ------ the idea of America as the great melting pot.
- A. clash … explains
- B. combination … belies
- C. fusion … epitomizes
- D. selection … shocks
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
The answer is C
The first blank must mean combination (of musical forms), while the second blank must mean contribute to (the idea), requiring fusion (combining) and epitomizes (perfectly represents) as the answer.
Do one blank at a time. The first blank, which might seem easier, must mean combination (of musical forms), so you can eliminate choices (A) and (C). The second blank must mean contribute to (the idea), so eliminate choice (D).
