When the chapter is read through the idea of sound, which conclusion is most suitable?

Correct answer: Sound becomes experience in a person and memory in culture

Option A is the most suitable conclusion because the chapter presents sound as a deeply experienced and culturally meaningful phenomenon. Evelyn Glennie shows that music can be perceived through vibrations and bodily awareness, so sound is not limited to ordinary hearing. Bismillah Khan’s shehnai music demonstrates another dimension: sound preserves tradition, evokes collective memory, and represents Indian cultural pride. Therefore, sound becomes personal experience in the body and cultural memory in society. Option B is too narrow and negative because music is not merely noise. Option C ignores Evelyn’s way of sensing music beyond conventional hearing. Option D is false because mastery of sound depends greatly on disciplined practice. The central interpretive idea is that sound connects sensation, artistic training, memory, and culture.
