Cowell did seem to have had an excellent rapport with the persons she recorded in California. It remains remarkable that anyone could gain an entry in such a short space of time into the lives and performance styles of so many musicians. There were thirty-one English-language and seventy-five foreign language performers recorded by Cowell during the project. In a paper entitled "Folk Music in California," begun during the WPA project Cowell wrote "How does one find songs? They are everywhere at hand. A man changing a tire on Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley last month sang an old ballad as he worked, and was startled by an urgent request to repeat it so it could be written down. A receipt for a bill paid to a Railway Express delivery man was signed with a Basque name this led to a whole nest of songs And one man in Shasta County offered to out sing the gas tank if he might ride along to Fresno." In seeking to make folk music recordings in California, Cowell wondered whether she could identify characteristics that were distinctive to the state. She said it seemed difficult not to find an lowan or an Oklahoman every time you scratched a California singer

Which statement best synthesizes information from the two passages?

1 The California folk music captured by Cowell during the 1930s consisted of music with origins in other states, countries, and cultures.

2. Cowell limited the music she collected for her project to folk songs sung to her rather than include any tunes played on various instruments.

O3 Most folk music performers learned their songs California but then sang them in other parts of the country where Cowell later transcribed them.

4. People living in California during the 1930s were more willing to share their folk music, as well as sing and play for strangers like Cowell, than Californians are today​
