Hi Team - grateful if anyone can explain why Answer Choice E is wrong while Answer Choice B is correct? Thanks!

Happy to, Christine!

In the text referenced by the question, the author describes Schoenberg's music as disturbing "because it unflinchingly
faces difficult truths." That's what we need to analogize. It's not some aesthetic or structural aspect of the music itself, but about how it affects us and makes us think and feel things that we might not want to think and feel.

Answer E is much too passive, and not about comedy that challenges us the way this music does. It's more than just being unfamiliar. Answer B is much closer to that idea of making us face difficult truths, since it forces us to confront things we would prefer to ignore. That's in your face and active and disturbing, like Schoenberg's music.
