2. Consider each of the three choices separately and select all that apply.
The passage suggests that Glass's work displays which of the following qualities?
Reviving the practice of using elements of popular music in classical composition, an approach that had been in hibernation in the United States during the 1960s, composer Philip Glass (born 1937) embraced the ethos of popular music in his compositions. Glass based two symphonies on music by rock musicians David Bowie and Brian Eno, but the symphonies' sound is distinctively his. Popular elements do not appear out of place in Glass's classical music, which from its early days has shared certain harmonies and rhythms with rock music. Yet this use of popular elements has not made Glass a composer of popular music. His music is not a version of popular music packaged to attract classical listeners; it is high art for listeners steeped in rock rather than the classics.

A return to the use of popular music in classical compositions2
An attempt to elevate rock music to an artistic status more closely approximating that of classical music3
A long-standing tendency to incorporate elements from two apparently disparate musical styles
클래식 작곡에 대중음악의 요소를 사용하는 관행, 동명중이던 그 접근법이 1960대 미국에서 다시 등장하면서, 작곡가 필립 글래스 (1937년생)는 그의 작곡에 대중음악의 기풍을 포용하였습니다. Glass는 록 음악가 David Bowie와 Brian Eno의 음악에 기반을 둔 두 개의 교향곡을 작곡했지만, 그 교향곡은 두드러지는 그의 음악이었습니다. Glass의 클래식 음악에서는 인기 있는 요소들이 어색하지 않게 나타나며, 초기부터 일부 화음과 리듬을 록 음악과 공유해왔습니다. 그러나 이러한 대중적인 요소의 사용은 Glass를 대중음악의 작곡가로 만들지 않았습니다. 그의 음악은 클래식 청취자들을 끌어들이기 위해 포장된 대중음악의 버전이 아닙니다. 그것은 클래식보다는 록 애호가들을 위한 수준 높은 예술입니다.

Question 2: To answer this question, it is important to assess each answer choice independently. Since the passage says that Glass revived the use of popular music in classical compositions, answer choice A is clearly correct. On the other hand, the passage also denies that Glass composes popular music or packages it in a way to elevate its status, so answer choice B is incorrect. Finally, since Glass\'s style has always mixed elements of rock with classical elements, answer Choice C is correct. Thus, the correct answer is Choice A and Choice C.
