问题      Scholars often fail to see that music played an important role in the preservation of African culture in the United States. They correctly note that slavery stripped some cultural elements from Black people -- their political and economic systems -- but they underestimate the significance of music in sustaining other African cultural values. African music, unlike the music of some other cultures, was based on a total vision of life in which music was not an isolated social domain. In African culture music was pervasive, serving not only religion, but all phases of life, including birth, death, work, and play. The methods that a community devises to perpetuate itself come into being to preserve, aspects of the cultural legacy that that community perceives as essential. Music, like art in general, was so inextricably a part of African culture that it became a crucial means of preserving the culture during and after the dislocations of slavery. [br] The primary purpose of the passage is to______.
选项 A、compare the relative importance of music with that of other art forms in culture
B、review the attempt of recent scholarship to study the influence of African music on other music
C、correct the failure of some scholars to appreciate the significance of music in African culture
D、survey the ways by which people attempt to preserve their culture against the effects of oppression
答案 C
解析 文章第一句就点出了全文的中心思想“Scholars often fail to see that music played an important role In the preservation of African culture in the United States．”即“一些学者忽视了音乐对非洲文化所起的重要作用。”
