501 Critical Reading Questions

d. In the 1940s, you would most likely hear bebop being played in
clubs, such as Minton’s Playhouse in Harlem (line 25).
301.
b. In lines 21-22 the author states that rhythm is the distinguishing
feature of bebop.
302.
a. Aficionado, derived from the word affection, means a devotee or
fan. The meaning can be inferred from the sentence, which
states that aficionados flocked to clubs to soak in the new style. The
use of fans in line 26 is a direct reference to the aficionados of
the previous sentence.
303.
c. The tone of the passage is neutral so only the answers beginning
with explain or instruct are possible choices. The passage does
not explain how to play bebop music, so is the best choice.
304.
b. Lines 2–7 describe how glam rock musicians were characterized
by their flashy hair and makeup, and refers to their music as a
product, as if it was something packaged to be sold. The choice
that best describes a musician who puts outward appearance
before the quality of his or her music is choice bstyle over sub-
stance.
305.
c. Ostentatious is an adjective that is used to describe someone or
something that is conspicuously vain, or showy. There are
numerous context clues to help you answer this question: Line
5 states that the glam rockers had a flashy style, and their music
was symbolic of the superficial 1980s (line 8).
306.
d. Trappings usually refer to outward decoration of dress. If you
did not know the definition of trappings, the prior sentence
(lines 21-24) supplies the answer: Grunge rockers derived their
fashion sense from the youth culture of the Pacific Northwest: a meld-
ing of punk rock style and outdoors clothing . . . . The author makes
no judgment of the attractiveness of grunge fashion (choice c).
307.
