The best answers are: (i) C. die, (ii) D. unsettling conclusion, (iii) H. forgo producing.

- Blank (i): The point is that experimentalism in "uncharted sonic landscapes" did not die with Stockhausen; it continued beyond him.
- Blank (ii): Calling the album's forays "sophomoric" suggests they might still lead to an unsettling conclusion, not a neutral "hypothesis" or "rebuttal."
- Blank (iii): That conclusion is that to create an unprecedented sound one must forgo producing a discernible melody, i.e., abandon obvious melody.
