Hello!

Could you please explain why C is correct and the others are incorrect? Especially why E is incorrect? Thank you!

Hey Claire,

Looking to the passage for support, Answer Choice (C) is correct and directly supported in the third paragraph by the lines "Even after swing had run its course, the theory goes, the machinery of the popular music industry continued to prop up the “threadbare” idiom, seducing musicians into going through the motions long after they had any legitimate artistic reason to do so."

There are a lot of reasons answer choices for RC can be incorrect; you want to look for answer choices that are likely to be correct based off which have direct support from the passage.

This same part of the passage, for example, shows why Answer (E) is incorrect. Swing artists didn't want to free themselves from commercialism, they were seduced into playing swing music because of commercialism.
