4which piece of evidence best supports the claim
that 1960s artists influenced the founders of
aerial dance artists in the 1970s?
a. "one of these artists was alwin nikolais, an
american choreographer who conceived of new
ways to explore dance, space, and
movement " (paragraph 3)
b. " she once stated, 'when you walked on the
street after class, you could feel the space
around you.'" (paragraph 4)
c. " sendgraff said, 'i don’t know whether
it wasn’t hung properly or what, but bringing the
two ropes together was making a spinning,
twisting motion.'" (paragraph 5)
d. "in their own way, the legacy of these artists
continues to defy gravity " (paragraph 6)

A

Explanation:

A is the best option because it continues what was most likely a discussion about artists of the past. This is implied because the past tense is used when talking about the choreography created by Alwin Nikolaus.

Another clue that A is the correct answer is the type of dance referred to in the question. Aerial dancing would most likely influenced greatly by discoveries in ways to explore dance with an emphasis on space and movement.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
