Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

A

subdued

B

erratic

C

elaborate

D

vibrant

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the best answer. The text contrasts "loud, aggressive" with "gentle, folk-inspired." "Subdued" means quiet and rather reflective or depressed; soft and restrained.

Choice B is incorrect because "erratic" means unpredictable. Choice C is incorrect because "elaborate" means complicated. Choice D is incorrect because "vibrant" means bright/energetic (like the first album).
