Question

The writer wants to conclude the passage with a sentence that emphasizes the enduring legacy of The Supremes' work. Which choice would best accomplish this goal [11]?

• A. Motown Records made major contributions to American music and is still operating today
• B. Diana Ross's successful solo career solidified her reputation as a formidable performer in her own right
• C. However, their songs remain widely played, and their influence on generations of musicians can still be heard today
• D. When HollandDozier-Holland left Motown Records because of a financial dispute, The Supremes produced fewer high-ranking songs.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

However, their songs remain widely played, and their influence on generations of musicians can still be heard today

Here, only option C befits the context: when used to conclude the passage, C puts emphasis on the enduring legacy of The Supremes' work by saying that "their songs remain widely played" and that their music still influences musicians. The other options are incorrect as they do not fit the context. C is thus the answer.
