Explanation:

First Question (Country Blues Performance Contexts)

Country Blues in the early 1900s was performed in contexts like medicine shows, juke joints, and brothels. Churches were more for religious music, folk festivals became prominent later, and single options (juke joints, brothels) are incomplete. So the correct option is the one with all three.

In Native American powwow performances, the vocal melodic contour is disjunct (with intervals that are not step - wise, having leaps). Cascading has a flowing downward, ascending is upward step - wise, vibrato is a vocal technique, and drone is a sustained note, none match powwow vocal contour as well as disjunct.

Native American powwow music is most associated with the Plains cultural region. Inuit culture has different musical traditions, so the correct option is related to Plains.

Answer:

B. medicine shows, Juke joints, brothels (assuming the option identifier is B; adjust identifier as per original, but content is "medicine shows, juke joints, brothels")
