We can’t predict the correct answer just based on the question stem, so let’s use process of elimination.
a
"El Corrido de ████████ ███████ ███ ██████ ████ ██ ██████ ██████ ███████████
The author never suggests Gregorio Cortez was rarely sung at gatherings. If anything, given that the song was “popular,” there’s evidence it was probably commonly sung.
b
Most surviving corridos ██ ███ █████ ██ ████████ █████
Not supported. We don’t have any evidence that “most” (over half) of corridos don’t exist in complete form. The author mentions a song that’s the “oldest corrido surviving in complete form,” but this doesn’t imply that over half of surviving corridos aren’t in complete form.
c
All complete corridos ████ ████ █████ ██ ███████
Supported by the last paragraph. There are certain lines that “travel easily from one ballad to another.” In addition, we’re told that the “first and third lines” of the despedida of Gregorio Cortez are a set convention.”
d
Most corrido variants ████ ███ ████ ██████████
Not supported, because there are variable lines in the despedida. So even though every corrido has a despidida, and some of the lines are the same, this doesn’t imply the whole despidida is the same in “most” (over half) corrido variants.
e
"El Corrido de ████████ ███ ████████ ██ ███████ ███ ████ ███ ██████ ███████
We don’t know the background of the composer of El Corrido de Kiansis.
