For the last question, the line from the passage
Quote:
They correctly note that slavery stripped some cultural elements from Black people—their political and economic systems
looks ambiguous because it can mean one of two things:
1. Either they stripped SOME of the political and cultural elements
2. Or that political and cultural elements were SOME of the elements that were stripped.
But because the question asks on whether the scholars would "err" in making this conclusion, statement I does not apply because the author concedes that the scholars did get it right. So FALSE. (If someone can clarify whether this is the correct line of reasoning, it would be greatly appreciated.)
Statement 2: This is what the Author talks about what the scholars concluded wrongly. They concluded that the music was a separate social domain, like the other cultures. So if they conclude that, they would be mistaken, as per the author. So TRUE.
Statement 3: "Music was a crucial part of African cultural legacy". This is the conclusion provided by the author, not the scholars, and which the author believes in. Nevertheless, even if scholars made this conclusion, according to the passage and the author, this is indeed true and they would NOT ERR in making this conclusion. Hence, FALSE.
