Hey Claire,

Questions like this will have answer choices directly supported by the passage, so the easiest way to find the correct answer would be to find where the passage is referencing commonly held ideas about bebop - in this case, the first two sentences of the final paragraph.

Answer choice (D) is supported by the second sentence of the last paragraph "it idealizes the circumstances of artistic creation"

This paragraph also helps us eliminate answer choices (A) and (E). The author tells us the commonly held belief is that bebop was anticommercial, which means (A) cannot be correct and (E) is not a commonly held belief.

Answer (B) is incorrect, bebop originated from jazz not classical music, and answer (C) is not supported by the passage.

Hope that helps!
