Answer 1

The history of rap music is interesting, and many musicologists are beginning to examine it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct sentence should be: The history of rap music is interesting, and so many musicologists are beginning to examine it. The error in the original sentence is the lack of a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'and'. The comma is needed to separate the two independent clauses in the sentence. By adding the comma, the sentence becomes grammatically correct.
