<p>At a preconcert interview in 2000 for the performance of one of her works in London, Rhian Samuel was asked about her well-known reluctance to be considered a Welsh composer. Her reply --- ―I’m not so happy to be called only a Welsh composer because I haven’ t lived in Wales all my life and have another influences as well. On the other hand, I</p>
<p>[have] been a woman all my life!‖ --- brought both laughter and applause from the expectant crowd of concertgoers. In short, Samuel is proud to be considered first a woman composer, one whose connection to the Welsh language and people resurfaces at interludes throughout her musical life.</p>

<li>Her "reply' in lines 2 suggests chiefly that Samuel believes which of the following?</li>
</ol>
<p>A. He nationality is not the most important aspect of her identity.</p>
<p>B. She could not have become a successful composer if she had remained in Wales for her whole life.</p>
<p>C. One of the obligations of a musician is to relate a humorous anecdote before each performance.</p>
<p>D. Other people should not refer to themselves as Welsh unless they have always lived in Wales.</p>
<p>E. Men should acknowledge the importance of their gender as an artistic influence just as women do.</p>
<p>I guessed D but the answer is A. The passage does not refer to any of his nationality ? I am confused, always messed up the easy questions.</p>
