Question

so r&b certainly isn’t dead. but it is hard to recognize from time to - time. for the generation whose roots stretch only as far back as aaliyah and whose branches stretch to an eclectic sound we likely haven’t even conceived yet, this iteration of r&b is what resonates most. 35 maybe one of the originators of the partnership between hip - hop and r&b, mary j. blige, said it best when debating combs over his “r&b is dead” commentary. 36 “you can’t kill something that’s in our dna,” she said. “it’s gonna keep transitioning from generation to generation to generation to generation.” and ya don’t stop. \how did hip - hop and r&b become one genre\ by rivka ruff. copyright © 2022. used by permission of essence magazine. all rights reserved. this version of the text has been abridged for commonlit. 13 appeals to someone in a personal or emotional way; has particular meaning or importance for someone analyzing text structure: how did hip - hop and r&b become one genre? paragraph 36 7. how does paragraph 34 contribute to the overall section “throw it back”? name __________ class __________

Explanation:

Paragraph 34 is not shown, but based on the context of the text which discusses the endurance and evolution of R&B, paragraph 34 likely contributes to the overall theme by either presenting an argument about R&B's status (dead or alive), its historical development, or its relationship with hip - hop. It may set up the ideas further explored in paragraphs 35 - 36, such as Mary J. Blige's perspective on R&B's longevity.

Answer:

Without the content of paragraph 34, it's hard to say precisely. But it probably sets up or supports the argument about R&B's endurance and its connection to hip - hop as explored in subsequent paragraphs.
