A
reinforcing
B
respect
C
transcend
D
document
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. The passage describes combining elements from different musical traditions. "Transcend" means to go beyond limits, fitting this crossing of genre boundaries.
Choice A is incorrect because "reinforcing" would maintain separation. Choice B is incorrect because "respect" would maintain traditional boundaries. Choice D is incorrect because "document" doesn't convey crossing boundaries.
