Summarize Argument
The author concludes that popular music has been used to express religious and political messages. This is based on an example of popular music being used by social movements to convert people to the movement or to increase morale among the movements’ members.
Identify Conclusion
The conclusion is the author’s assertion concerning what popular music has been used for: “[I]t has been used to express religious and political messages.”
A
Popular music accounts for the success of social movements.
The author never asserts that popular music explains why social movements are successful.
B
Popular music’s entertainment value has been overemphasized.
The author never asserts anything about the entertainment value of popular music and whether it has been under or overemphasized.
C
Popular music is the most effective way of converting people to social movements.
The author never asserts that popular music is the “most effective” means of conversion.
D
Popular music has purposes other than mere entertainment.
This is the closest paraphrase to the conclusion. It’s phrased more generally than what we predicted, but there’s no other answer that paraphrases the conclusion.
E
Popular music has a profound emotional impact on its listeners.
The author never asserts that popular music has a “profound” emotional impact on listeners. Even if you think this is related to the statement concerning morale, that statement is a premise, not the conclusion.
