(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=14138)

This question concerns a characteristic typical of the corrido. While the corrido is discussed
throughout the passage, the most relevant reference points are likely to be the second and third

Answer choice (A): There is no evidence that corridos use exaggeration to embellish Border events.
On the contrary—the author clearly states that they “tell their stories simply and swiftly, without
embellishments” (lines 22-23).
Answer choice (B): Figures of speech are generally rare in corridos (lines 24-25), proving this to be
an Opposite answer choice.
Answer choice (C): This is the correct answer choice: the despedida is a formal closing verse
characteristic of corridos (line 42).
Answer choice (D): There is no evidence that corridos use complex rhyme schemes. The language
they use is simple and familiar.
Answer choice (E): The corridos are sung in Spanish (line 6). There is no evidence that their verses
combine Spanish and English.
