Question: 92
6. The author implies that between 1968 and 1972:
- A. acceptance of protest increased and opposition to protest did not decline.
- B. social unrest led to greater acceptance of protest as a necessary part of political life.
- C. Americans' objection to certain types of protest decreased.
- D. there was no change in Americans' attitudes toward protest.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D This is a Retrieval question.
A: No. This choice reflects some points made by the author in paragraphs 2 and 4, but we don't know that Stravinsky shared in this belief. The author states that Stravinsky's experience "reveals the extent to which an artist must work with the field that regulates his chosen domain," but not that Stravinsky himself expressed this idea. Note that in paragraph 2, the author states that Stravinsky's life "unintentionally" illustrates the importance of collaboration.
B: No. This choice contradicts Stravinsky's statements in paragraph 5, where he talks about the importance of constraints and obstacles.
C: No. The passage states that he eventually believed in "suppressing whatever revolutionary impulses may have existed in his own person" (paragraph 5).
D: Yes. This comes directly from Stravinsky's quote in paragraph 5.
