Based on the sentences in this paragraph, which statement is accurate?

Answer 1

The question is not complete. I believe the complete question is the following:

1Poetry is a huge part of literary history. 2It is also a part of musical history. 3From the lyrics of ancient folk songs to those of modern-day rap, musicians have used words in their art to express life, love, and culture. 4Whether the melody comes first or the words do, it is a poet's job to make them work together. 5The music and words become partners in the goal of expressing ideas or affecting the listener in some way. 6We have all been turned into mush by a beautiful song with a sad message, and we have the musical poets to thank for that.

Based on the sentences in this paragraph, which statement is accurate?

Sentence 1 is a complex sentence that varies the style and tone of the paragraph.

Sentence 3 is a complex sentence that varies the style and tone of the paragraph.

Sentence 5 is a compound sentence that varies the fluency and style of the paragraph.

Sentence 6 is a compound sentence that varies the fluency and style of the paragraph.

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe the answer is D, Sentence 6 is a compound sentence that varies the fluency and style of the paragraph.

I can be sure that it is not A, because A is obviously not a complex sentence, more it is a simple sentence. It is also not B, because yes, it is a complex sentence, but it does not varie the tone and style. It is also not C, because C does not have a comma nor a conjunction, (and, or, but). Therefore, I believe it is D.

Answer 2

Most of them are quite accurate.

1. Poetry is a huge part of literary history. Not very accurate because of the adjective huge; I would use important.

2. It is also a part of musical history. Pretty accurate because there is no denying that if forms a part, although a minor one, of musical history.

3. From the lyrics etc.; Accurate without a doubt: Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Nick Drake, The Beatles and... The Last Poets

4. Whether etc.; Not accurate because it is a musician´s job etc.

5. The music and words; An accurate way of describing popular music.

6. We have all etc.; To personal to be really accurate, besides, musical poets are, with the few exceptions of people like Nick Drake, David Sylvian and some others that I cannot remember right now, a very rare breed.
