PT58 Reading Comp Q23 and 26
Not only do I not understand why the correct answers are right, I think the answers I chose were better...

Re: PT58 Reading Comp Q23 and 26
23 is kind of an iffy one, but the passage states that people are overwhelmed by music that is complex and disorganized and look for coherence; at the same time, they want a little bit of complexity. A is out because it isn't complex or intricate. C is irrelevant. D is out, too (nothing is mentioned about fastness), and E is out. B is the closest answer, because "clear and easy to follow" fits what the passage said.
I'm not sure what you could have picked for 26. A is out because no biology is mentioned, C is out because no other art forms are mentioned, D is out because no cultural patterns are mentioned, and E is out because no composers are mentioned (or "meaning," for that matter). Both passages are all about psychology and listener responses.

23. The passage says that there must be a "measure of intricacy" and also talks about the relaxation provided by a safe continuous sound e.g. white noise.WhatSarahSaid wrote:23 is kind of an iffy one, but the passage states that people are overwhelmed by music that is complex and disorganized and look for coherence; at the same time, they want a little bit of complexity.

26. Yeah I actually got this right and graded it incorrectly. Thanks anyway

23 I actually took a risk on this one and chose B before reading the rest. I think the trick here is just focus on that paragraph because the rest kind of complicates this view, and passage B does so even more.
A. White noise is one tone, boring.
B. Has the coherence and meaning people want - correct
C. size is irrelevant here
D. Speed is irrelevant
E. taste is as well.
