Question

in the past, music albums were created to be played back on physical formats like records. a typical record holds only about twenty - five minutes of music on each of its shiny black sides. this forced artists and producers to think carefully about what music to include on an album and what to leave out. todays artists dont have to worry as much about fitting their music on physical formats. for this reason, many of todays artists are making albums that are much longer than albums from decades past. in todays digital age, most music is created to be streamed from online services. these services remove the limitations of physical formats like records and cds. this may be why many new albums are longer and have more songs than albums crafted for physical formats. unfortunately, many of these longer albums suffer from a lack of focus. based on the texts, the author of text 1 and the author of text 2 would most likely agree with which statement about many new albums? a many new albums include more artwork than albums generally once included. b many new albums sell more copies than albums generally once sold. c many new albums are longer than albums generally once were. d many new albums are quieter than albums generally once were.

Explanation:

Text 1 mentions physical format limitations like record - length restricting music on albums. Text 2 says new albums are longer as they don't have physical format limitations. So, new albums are longer than albums generally once were.

Answer:

C. Many new albums are longer than albums generally once were.
