DISCUSSION: For this type of question, pick the 1-2 answers that seem most likely, then look to the passage to find support.
There will usually be a specific line to support the correct answer. If you don’t support your answers using the passage, you will make mistakes.
___________
- We’re never told how often this particular corrido was sung.
- The middle part of paragraph 1 says that the oldest complete corrido is from 150 years ago. Apart from that, we have no idea how many corridos survived or how many are complete.
- CORRECT. The middle part of paragraph 2 indicates that some corrido lines are a set convention, i.e. they don’t change from corrido to corrido.
- The middle part of paragraph 2 says that some lines in the despedida are variable.
- We have no evidence that the corrido de kiansis was composed by someone from another reason. We’re told nothing about the author.
I did not pick C because I thought an “all” statement was too strong of an inference to make and the qualifier “complete” threw me off since it was only used to describe one corrido in line 11. Also, paragraph 2 only mentions recurring imagery, not common lines. I figured it wouldn’t be incorrect to equate recurring imagery and “lines in common.”
