Which of the following trends is likeliest to have inspired the imagery in the accompanying verse?

(A) The Romantic movement (B) The emergence of Surrealism (C) The rise of mass media (D) The Jazz AgeExplanation: (D) This question calls for the contextualization of the stimulus material. Romanticism and Surrealism precede the 1950s, and neither suit the tone of the poem. Modern music could be seen to have some connection to mass media, but the references to “blackness”—Senghor is a key figure in the Négritude movement—and saxophones are best associated with the Harlem Renaissance and the Jazz Age.
