Support The best jazz singers use their voices much as horn players use their instruments. ███ █████ ██████ ███████ ███████ ██ ███ ███████ █████ ██ █ █████ █████████ ██████ ███ █████ ██ ████████ █████ ███████ ███████████ ████ ████ ███████ ███████ █████ ███████████ ██████ ██ █████████ ███ ███████████ ██████ ███ █████ ██ ██ ███████████ ██████ ██ ████ ████████ ███████ ██ █████████ █████ ███ ████████ ███████

Summarize Argument

Jazz consists largely of voicelike horns and hornlike voices. Why the claim about “voicelike horns”? Because jazz horn players mimic the sound of voices by throwing in spontaneous twists and turns, giving their horn playing a voicelike quality. And why the claim about “hornlike voices”? Because the best jazz singers use their own voices in a similar way to how horn players use their horns. As an example of this, take the singer Billie Holiday, who thought of her singing voice as a horn.

Identify Argument Part

The claim referenced in the question stem is the first sentence in the stimulus. It’s a sub-conclusion that’s supported by the example of Billie Holiday, and goes on to support the second assertion made in the main conclusion: jazz consists, in part, of hornlike voices.

Which one of the following ████ ██████████ █████████ ███ ████ ██████ ██ ███ ████████ ██ ███ █████ ████ ███ ████ ████ ███████ ███ █████ ██████ ████ ██ ████ ███████ ███ █████ ████████████

It is the ██████████ ████ ██████████ ███ ██ █████████ ██ ███████ ██████████ █████ ██ ██████ █████████ ██ █ ███████ ██████████

It’s not the main conclusion. It lends support to one half of the main conclusion: namely, that jazz consists, in part, of hornlike voices. Because it lends support, it cannot be the main conclusion.

It is the ██████████ ████ ███████████ ███ ████ ██ ███ █████ ██████████ ██ ███ ████████ ██ ████ ██ ███████ ███

It’s not the argument’s conclusion. It lends support to one half of the conclusion: namely, that jazz consists, in part, of hornlike voices. Because it lends support, it cannot be the argument’s conclusion.

It is a █████████ ███ █████ ████ ████████ ██ ████████ ███ █████ ██ ████ ██ ████ ██ ███████ ███████ ███ ███ ██████████ ████ ███████████

Accurately describes the statement’s role as a sub-conclusion. The example of Billie Holiday provides some evidence for the claim, and the claim then goes on to help support the main conclusion.

It is a █████████ ███ █████ ██ ████████ ██ ████████ ███ █████ ██████ ██ ████ ██ ███████ ███ ██████████ ████ ███████████

It’s supported by some evidence. The example of Billie Holiday lends support to the idea that the best jazz singers use their voices similarly to how horn players use their instruments.

It is a █████████ ████ ██ ███████ █ ██████████ ████ ██ ████ ██ ████ ██ ███████ ███ ██████████ ████ ███████████

It does not support a sub-conclusion. Instead, it directly supports the main conclusion.
