Which line from “The Railroad Earth” best illustrates the influence of jazz music on Jack Kerouac’s style?

B) “the reading rooms tick tock bigclock with creak chair and slantboards” best shows jazz’s influence on Kerouac’s style. Its rapid, loosely connected phrases and rhythmic sound mimic the syncopated flow of jazz improvisation. The other lines are more descriptive or straightforward, without the same strong rhythmic, spontaneous effect.
