Gre verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning With Explanations

The correct answer is Choice E
. 
Question 2
: To answer this question, it is important to assess each answer choice 
independently. Since the passage says that Glass revived the use of popular music in classical 
compositions, answer choice A is clearly correct. On the other hand, the passage also denies 
that Glass composes popular music or packages it in a way to elevate its status, so answer 
choice B is incorrect. Finally, since Glass's style has always mixed elements of rock with classical 
elements, answer Choice C is correct. 
Thus, the correct answer is Choice A and Choice C
. 
Question 3
: Almost every sentence in the passage refers to incorporating rock music in 
classical compositions, but only the last sentence distinguishes two ways of doing so. It 
distinguishes between writing rock music in a way that will make it attractive to classical 
listeners and writing classical music that will be attractive to listeners familiar with rock. 
Thus, 
the correct answer is the last sentence of the passage
. 
Text Completion Questions 
Skilled readers do not simply absorb the information presented on the page; instead, they 
maintain a constant attitude of interpretation and evaluation, reasoning from what they have read 
so far to create a picture of the whole and revising that picture as they go. Text Completion 
questions test this ability by omitting crucial words from short passages and asking the test taker 
to use the remaining information in the passage as a basis for selecting words or short phrases to 
fill the blanks and create a coherent, meaningful whole. 
Question Structure 
•
Passage composed of one to five sentences
•
One to three blanks
•
Three answer choices per blank (five answer choices in the case of a single blank)
•
The answer choices for different blanks function independently; i.e., selecting one answer
choice for one blank does not affect what answer choices you can select for another blank
•
Single correct answer, consisting of one choice for each blank; no credit for partially
correct answers
