3.
Given its tone and content, ████ █████ ███ ██ ███ █████████ ███ ███ ███████ ████ ██████ ██████
a
a brochure for ████████████ ████████ ██ ███ █████ ███ ██████ ██████
This doesn’t fit, because a brochure for tourists would probably involve where to eat, attractions to visit, etc. The details of a type of folk song probably wouldn’t be found in a tourist brochure.
b
a study focusing ██ ███ ████████ █████████ ██ ███ █████ ██ ██████████████████ █████
The passage doesn’t discuss how corridos have influenced the music of Spain.
c
an editorial in █ ████████████ █████████ ████ ███ █████ ███ ██████ ██████
An editorial probably involes some kind of advocacy or attempt to persuade the reader. But the passage doesn’t advocate anything. It just teaches readers about corridos.
d
a treatise on ███ █████ ██ ██████ ███████ ██ ███ █████ ███ ██████ ██████
The passage doesn’t discuss the lives of famous native people.
e
a book describing ███████ █████ ████████ ████ ████ █████
This is the best answer. The passage does into the details of corridos, which are a type of North American folk song. This passage wouldn’t be out of place in this book.
