Q8

What is the difference between (B) and (D)?

[ohthatpatrick]

We'd start by scanning the text for where it talks about "how T's anthology treats the LP school".

Scanning for the capital 'T' in Temperley, we see in line 37 ...
he's skeptical of treating the LP as a "school", since the artists composing it are so varied

Finally, in line 56-59, we hear that Temperley "defined the school by the period during which it flourished" (as opposed to defining it by some common stylistic trait)

Looking at answers,
(A) The opposite. TIme period, not styles.
(B) This would seem true-ish, and I guess "between 1766 and 1873" is a good match for "defined by the period during which it flourished" from line 56-59.
(C) Beethoven? Where did that come from? This is grabbing details that were not in our Temperley proof sentences.
(D) This also has a time period. Keep it.
(E) Way off. Like (C), this is grabbing words from elsewhere in the passage.

So what is the diff between (B) and (D)?
They both describe essentially the same time period, so the differentiator is
"a group of people"
vs.
"a series of compositions"

Let's check those sentences again to see whether we were talking about people or compositions. In lines 30-38, we're definitely talking about whether these PEOPLE can be considered a school.

Line 45-48 is also definitely using Pianoforte school to mean a "group of musicians", so we should lean toward that that noun.

That makes (B) the winner.

Always the best explanations Mr. Patrik!
