Question

Robert is writing a report comparing and contrasting big band music of the 1920s and contemporary music of today. What is the best source for him to use in order to write his report?
A. an interview with a 1920s big band orchestra leader


B. a website providing information on how hip hop music has evolved


C. a book titled Music of Today


D. an article from a music magazine titled "The Evolution of Music: A look at the 19th and 20th centuries"

Answer 1

D, 19th century refers to 1800 and 20th to 1900 but it doesn’t include/contrast past music, so wrong. C doesn’t help you with past music. B could be of use, but the report is about 1920 big band music and not hip hop. And A would allow you to have the best information from a first person source along with their contracting ideas with today’s and the pasts music, so A is the right answer.
