Seriously, this is a terrible question. Even if you have more in common with earlier Jazz than any other music, you can still stray too far from the original melody and therefor aren't classified as jazz.
I can have more in common with dogs than cats but i'm still not classified as a dog because I don't have a tail.

Two LSAC team members are having a conversation:
Dave: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Tom: Making our test takers require knowledge from outside of the stimulus to get the answer choice correct?
Dave: Bingo.
Tom: Should we make this a level 5 question at the end of the test so that their brains are already completely fried?
Dave: Dude, yes.
Tom: Btw, I found this $200 in my pocket from the last fella who wants to retake the test.
Dave: I'm thinking brunch today!

LSAC team member 1: I've got an idea y'all. You know how the test takers have a minute and some change per question, right?
LSAC team member 2: Yeah, do you think we should give them less time per question?
LSAC team member 1: That's a great idea, we could get to that later, but my main thing is this: let's give them a question that is meant to implode your brain with words and have two of the answer choices be almost IDENTICAL!
LSAC team member 2: Identical?
LSAC team member 1: Yes, let's just flip them around so theres a good chance the test takers pick the wrong one and don't get the goal score they want.
LSAC team member 2: Genius, but why did you mention the timing?
LSAC team member 1: Dude, because they won't have any time to figure it out!!!
LSAC team member 2: Awesome thinking fellow team member. BTW, we actually just got another $200 bucks from this sucker who wants to retake the test,
LSAC team member 1: Champagne and lunch?
LSAC team member 2: You read my mind, lets talk about the whole "lowering the time per question" over some caviar.

After wrestling with this for a while, I understand why answer choice D. However, this question is horrible. Whoever approved this question must be into sadism of some sort.

For those that chose D like I did:
I worked out the answer choice using a previous lawgic lesson and realized my own mistake. Hope this helps:
According to Lee, Kim could NOT be correct UNLESS the people at the time were aware that their life expectancy had increased.
So, Let's make 'Kim's statement could not be correct' /X, and 'people aware their life expectancy has increased' is Y.
Unless; Negate, sufficient.
X --> Y
Kim is correct ----> People are aware their life expectancy increased.
/Y --> /X
People are NOT aware their life expectancy increased ---> Kim is not correct.
Choice D says the concept of life expectancy wasn't around during the eighteenth century, which makes it impossible for the population to be aware that their life expectancy had increased.
So, Choice D Helps Lee's argument.
Has LSAC lost their f*ing mind? What are we testing here?
