Question

The passage implies that:

• A. The cantaresfocus on heroic deeds associated with war, whereas the romances are concerned with peace.
• B. The cantareswere often recited to audiences
• C. The romances probably influenced the mester de clerecía.
• D. The influence of Moorish culture on the romance was less strong than it was on the cantares.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

The cantareswere often recited to audiences

The implication is that the cantares were more often recited in public than read in private. Choice A is incorrect. The romances combine lyricism with narration taken from the dramatic high points of the epics; nothing suggests that they are concerned with peace rather than war.

Notice that defeat is mentioned as one of the moments captured by romances.

Eliminate choice A. The passage does not refer to Moorish influence on any of the genres, so choice C can be eliminated. Choice D is a reversal of what the passage suggests. Eliminate choice D.
