In recommending Bao Phi's collection Song I Sing, a librarian noted that pieces by the spoken-word poet don't lose their _____ nature when printed: the language has the same pleasant musical quality on the page as it does when performed by Phi. Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

Apersonal
Bjarring
Cscholarly
Dmelodic
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. melodic
Choice C is the best answer. 'Melodic' (pleasant arrangement of sounds) directly anticipates the later phrase 'pleasant musical quality'. 'Jarring' is the opposite; 'scholarly' and 'personal' do not connect to the musical quality.
