Final answer:
The correct answer is 'The Passover Crescendo,' which combines the Jewish holiday commemorating the Exodus story with the musical term for an increase in volume.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Jewish holiday in which the story of Exodus is retold is known as Passover, and the musical term for a gradual increase in volume is crescendo. Thus, the correct answer to the question is 'The Passover Crescendo,' which is option (a).
Passover is a pivotal event in Jewish history, commemorating the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. It marks the 'passing over' of houses marked with lamb's blood during the last plague, sparing the firstborn sons of the Israelites. The story is recounted during a ritual meal called the seder, where the Haggadah is read, containing prayers, songs, and the Passover story. A crescendo is used in music to indicate a gradual increase in loudness, which can symbolically represent the rising intensity of the Jews' longing for freedom that was answered with their eventual escape from bondage.
