And we're starting out with question number one. 3 So this question is asking us about this phrase made you forget entities 4 in lines five to six. So let's take a look at those 5 lines to get some context. Um, 6 here's line five and we see the context is that wasn't real 7 music, music that made you forget where you were made. 8 You forget where your arms and legs ended and the luscious sound began. 9 So the repetition of made you forget here is drawing us into this scene 10 and strong us into the impact that the music has. 11 Um, the author is drawing and contrast between, 12 um, the initial experiences our character had with music and 13 her experience with what the author calls real music. 14 So we're getting a sense of that description through this repetition of made you 15 forget taking a look at our answer choices that 16 seems to line up fairly well with answer choice. 17 I emphasizing the qualities, Virginia associates with powerful music. 18 That will be our correct answer choice, um, 19 choices, B, C and D don't necessarily speak to that role 20 of the repetition B says recreate Virginia's emotional reaction. 21 Um, here, the emphasis wasn't on those Beatles songs, 22 those are just used to set the scene. Um, 23 rather the emotional reaction from this piece is coming from her own experiences. 24 Playing music choice C says suggests that Virginia's memories of 25 the theater troupe are fading with time. There's no real mention of time here, 26 so we can safely rule that out as well, 27 because of that detail about time, um, 28 an answer choice D highlight the regret. 29 Virginia feels about ending her musical studies, 30 this word regret. We don't really see too much discussion of that, 31 so we can roll out choice D as well, 32 leaving a as our correct answer choice.
