While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
* In 1971, experimental musician Pauline Oliveros created Sonic Meditations.
* Sonic Meditations is not music but rather a series of sound-based exercises called meditations.
* Each meditation consists of instructions for participants to make, imagine, listen to, or remember sounds.
* The instructions for Meditation V state, "walk so silently that the bottoms of your feet become ears."
* Those for Meditation XVIII state, "listen to a sound until you no longer recognize it."
The student wants to provide an explanation and an example of Oliveros's Sonic Meditations. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Sonic Meditations is not music but rather a series of sound-based meditations that consist of instructions; Meditation XVIII, for instance, instructs participants to "listen to a sound until you no longer recognize it."
In 1971, Oliveros created Sonic Meditations, a series of meditations that consist of instructions for participants to make, imagine, listen to, or remember sounds.
"Walk so silently that the bottoms of your feet become ears" is one example of the instructions found in Oliveros's Sonic Meditations.
While both meditations consist of instructions, Meditation XVIII instructs participants to "listen," whereas Meditation V instructs participants to "walk."
While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
* British musicians John Lennon and Paul McCartney shared writing credit for numerous Beatles songs.
* Many Lennon-McCartney songs were actually written by either Lennon or McCartney, not by both.
* The exact authorship of specific parts of many Beatles songs, such as the verse for "In My Life," is disputed.
* Mark Glickman, Jason Brown, and Ryan Song used statistical methods to analyze the musical content of Beatles songs.
* They concluded that there is 18.9% probability that McCartney wrote the verse for "In My Life," stating that the verse is "consistent with Lennon's songwriting style."
The student wants to make a generalization about the kind of study conducted by Glickman, Brown, and Song. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Based on statistical analysis, Glickman, Brown, and Song claim that John Lennon wrote the verse of "In My Life."
There is only an 18.9% probability that Paul McCartney wrote the verse for “In My Life”; John Lennon is the more likely author.
It is likely that John Lennon, not Paul McCartney, wrote the verse for “In My Life.”
Researchers have used statistical methods to address questions of authorship within the field of music.
While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
* The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee: Native America from 1890 to the Present is a history book by Oijbwe author David Treuer.
* In a review, a critic for The Economist noted that "Treuer's storytelling skills shine" and that the book is an "elegant handling of [a] complex narrative."
* A critic for O, The Oprah Magazine called it "a marvel of research and storytelling."
* A critic for the Missoulian dubbed it "a monumental achievement."
The student wants to emphasize a similarity in how critics responded to Treuer's book. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Treuer's book, which was widely reviewed, focuses on Native American history from 1890 to the present.
Dubbed “a monumental achievement” by the Missoulian, Treuer’s book documents over a century of NativeAmerican history.
Critics praised Treuer’s book for its compelling narrative, with O, The Oprah Magazine calling it “a marvel of research and storytelling” and The Economist likewise writing that “Treuer’s storytelling skills shine” and that the book is an “elegant handling of [a] complex narrative.”
While the Missoulian focused on the book’s broader achievement, The Economist zeroed in on Treuer’s storytelling skills.
