Answer:
The answer is Letter E.
Explanation:
The first provides evidence to support the main conclusion of the argument; the second states a subsidiary conclusion that is drawn in order to support the main conclusion stated earlier in the argument.
Because analyzing the question we have:
Most of Western music since the Renaissance has been based on a seven-note scale known as the diatonic scale, but when did the scale originate? It is a question asked in the argument.
A fragment of a bone flute excavated at a Neanderthal campsite has four holes, which are spaced in exactly the right way for playing the third through sixth notes of a diatonic scale. It is the discovery shown by the author, and he is answering the question he asked before.
The entire flute must surely have had more holes, and the flute was made from a bone that was long enough for these additional holes to have allowed a complete diatonic scale to be played. This fragment supports the discovery mentioned above.
Therefore, the Neanderthals who made the flute probably used a diatonic musical scale. That is the conclusion based on evidence
And that is the reason why Letter E is the correct answer.
