Complete Question Explanation
The correct answer choice is (D).
The question asks you to identify the answer choice that describes the achievements that are "most analogous" to those of Dove. So, first we need to put Dove's achievements into our own words. Since the passage discusses the relationship of poetry and fiction, we know that we should limit our summary to Dove's achievements in terms of her treatment of poetry and fiction. The author describes the way Dove flouts the widely held belief that the genres of poetry and fiction shouldn't mix by including narrative elements into her poetry and lyricism and rhythm into her prose fiction.
Answer choice (A): This choice describes a blending of different methods and ingredients to create something new, but it isn't the best answer because it doesn't include the idea of doing something very uncommon in the world of chefs.
Answer choice (B): This choice is about a person who changed careers, but it doesn't involve blending aspects of each career into the other. It also doesn't mention whether the professor's achievements are out of the ordinary, as are Dove's creative choices.
Answer choice (C): This choice is about a creative person using that creativity to impart knowledge. It doesn't address blending, as the actor may be using the same-old-same-old elements of street theater, but just including health information in the subject matter.
Answer choice (D): This is the correct answer choice. The choreographer blends elements of two genres of dance, just like Dove blends elements of two genres of writing. And, importantly, this blending also "defies convention" just as Dove's work does.
Answer choice (E): This choice describes a musician making something old new again by adding to it, but it doesn't suggest that the musician is blending genres or doing anything that is uncommon among musicians or would be a shock to conventional rock musicians.
