Question Type: Inference
(beware answers that are TOO STRONG, make NEW COMPARISONS, or bring up ALIEN ideas)
Context:
Line 30 speaks of "a piano exactly contemporary with the work's composition". What do we know about that piano?
Line 23 says "pianos did not have this high an F-sharp when Beethoven composed the concerto
Pre-phrase:
"the kind of piano that was" .... unable to play F-sharp?
(A) This language comes from the 3rd paragraph and has nothing to do with our proof window or prephrase
(B) This is the opposite. The old pianos COULD play F natural, COULDN'T play F-sharp.
(C) 3rd paragraph language blender trap again.
(D) This looks good.
(E) The NEW pianos made Beethoven want to revise his compositions. This question is asking about the old pianos.
The correct answer is (D).
