- Which one of the following
would be most appropriate as a title for each of the passages? So the implication here is that, a single title could
convey the information, from both of the passages. Which acknowledges that these passages are pretty close to each other, in terms of what question
they're trying to answer. So, let's look at these choices. We know that it's trying to explain how humans respond to music, and why they might feel that some music gives them positive feeling and other, sort of, music
gives them negative feelings, based on their expectations,
based on the tension, based on whether it's
continuous or discontinuous. So we're looking for something
that really encapsulates the question that the passages
seem to be trying to answer. So let's look at A. The Biological Underpinnings
of Musical Emotions. Biological Underpinnings, maybe
psychological underpinnings of the generation of those emotions, but it's mot really the
underpinnings either. I'm not liking A. B. The Psychology of
Listener Response to Music. Now both passages definitely
talk about the ways in which people respond to
different kinds of music. It looks pretty good. I like B, I'm gonna keep on looking. Try to cross out the others because hopefully they
won't be as good as B. Let's see what happens. C. How Music Differs from Other Art Forms. Other art forms, not mentioned. D. Cultural Patterns in
Listeners Responses to Music. We haven't heard any
about cultural patterns, whether something's different
in one culture or another. D is not the answer. E. How Composers Convey
Meaning Through Music. We have not heard anything
about what composers are doing. E is not the answer. Our answer is B. So you know how a single word
can make a wrong answer wrong. A single word can disqualify
the entire choice. So try to find those words
that just don't feel right. Maybe because they're not mentioned, or because it just doesn't
accurately reflect, what you know to be true
about what you just read. Trust yourself.
