Step 1: Prepare Here we’ll break down the two passages to figure out what’s most important.

Passage 1

Paragraph 1: Introduces the idea of John Cage as an innovator, but at first he had only modest innovation.

Paragraph 2: Cage ceased to become a true composer as he gave over control to performers; later he switched back to more conventional composition.

Main idea: Cage’s preferred set of techniques, giving almost complete freedom to performers, resulted in a dead end for music composition.

Passage 2

Paragraph 1: Distinguishes the techniques of chance procedures and indeterminacy in Cage’s works.

Paragraph 2: Discusses other composers using elements of Cage’s innovations in their works.

Bottom line: Cage’s techniques have found a lasting place in music, although not at the extreme levels of Cage’s works.

Step 2: Assess For each question, we’ll not only determine what the question is asking and classify it as Big Picture, Extract, Structure, or Reasoning, but also be sure we know which passage, if not both, the question is referring to.

Steps 3 and 4: Act and Answer We’ll go through each of these steps for every question individually. Let’s get to it.
