Thanks in advance, and please give the thought process behind your answer, if possible! Here’s the question:
In lines 35-37 in Passage 1 and line 86 in Passage 2, each author attempts to:
A) undermine a fallacy
B) rebut an argument
C) reiterate an idea
D) qualify an assertion
E) dismiss a tendency
And the lines, with a little additional content for context:
35-37: From its beginnings, rock music has challenged the basic values of the culture in which it emerged: not all at once, not always self-consciously, certainly not programmatically, but surely and steadily nonetheless.
86: Granted, within rock there are countercultural trends, but as a generic entity, rock so permeates our entire culture that other styles of music – such as classical, jazz, and pure country or western – are considered to be on the fringe, admired by small subcultural groups.
