SAT OwlComposer Florence Price drew on several musical traditions in her work. In her Symphony No. 1 in E Minor, which in 1933 became the first symphony by a Black woman to be performed by a major American orchestra, she combined the structure of a European symphony with elements of African American music. ______ the symphony's third movement is a juba dance, a style rooted in rhythms brought to the Americas by enslaved Africans.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
For instance,
Nevertheless,
Instead,
Previously,
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A
The previous sentence says Price blended African American musical elements into her symphony. The juba dance movement is a specific case of that, so "For instance" is the logical transition.
"Nevertheless" signals a contrast, but the juba dance supports the previous sentence's claim.
