Question 1 • FL-1001420-AP English Language and Composition Sem 1 - Flex

Which evidence from "Hip Hop Planet” best supports the idea that some people have a hard time embracing hip-hop?

Answer

“There were no white people in the room, though I confess I wished there had been, if only to hide the paleness of my own frightened face.”

“And on top of this loop, a kid spouted a rhyme about how he was the best disc jockey in the world.”

“For the next 26 years, I high-stepped past that music the way you step over a crack in the sidewalk.”

“Not since the advent of swing jazz in the 1930s has an American music exploded across the world with such overwhelming force.”

“In doing so, I missed the most important cultural event in my lifetime.”

Explanation

The narrator says he “high-stepped past” hip-hop for 26 years, meaning he avoided or dismissed the music for a long time. That directly shows how difficult it was for him to embrace hip-hop. Choice E describes what he missed as a result, but C most clearly shows his resistance.
