Which sentences in the passage provide the best evidence to support this thesis? Thesis: Bebop was a rejection of the limits of the traditional jazz of the early 1940s and the larger social context in which it was performed.
Bebop was born of a rejection of the harmonies and the rhythmic limitations of the traditional jazz of the early 1940s and the larger social
context in which it was performed. The swing movement, which preceded it, was characterized by boxed-in orchestral configurations with
solos that stayed within traditional harmonies and melodic rhythms. Bebop focused on small groups with soloists who felt free to push
their instruments to the limit. They explored new harmonies and played whatever they wanted against the backdrop of the group. There
were several societal factors that drove this movement. One was an attempt to cope with the racism that pervaded the daily lives of the
musicians who were primarily African American. Young musicians were among those drafted into the military to go to war. African
Americans returned from war to broader segregation and degradation in American society.
