1. B) given
2. A) take. This one is a bit tricky, because if only "taked" was underlined, the correct version would be 'taken'. But if "have taked" is underlined, 'take' would work the same as 'have taken'.
The correct answer is option B "accurately depict the African American experience". Langston Hughes the author of "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain", is considered a writer that introduced jazz in much of his poetry. In Hughes own words, he wrote so many jazz poems because "jazz to me is one of the inherent expressions of Negro life in America" (1512).
