the correct answer from Part A. 1. "One of the great American artists of the twentieth century, she was an electrifying performer" (Paragraph 4) 2 2. "Graham Invented a revolutionary new language of dance, an original way of moving" (Paragraph 5) 3 3. "For more than seventy years Graham danced, choreographed, and taught." (Paragraph 6) As an ambitious young woman who wanted to create a new kind of dance, Martha Graham spent many hours at New York City's Central Park Zoo. She would sit on a bench across from a lion in its cage and watch the animal pace back and forth, from one side of the cage to the other. She was fascinated by the elemental power of the lion's great padding steps, by the purity of its movements. Again and again, it took four steps across the cage, turned in "a wonderful way," then took four steps back. "Finally, I learned how to walk that way," Graham recalled. "I learned from the lion the inevitability of return, the shifting of one's body." Graham spent her very long life studying movement and challenging accepted ideas about what dance is and what a dancer can do. She looked upon dance as an exploration, a celebration of life. [...] One of the great American artists of the twentieth century, she was an electrifying performer and a deeply influential choreographer (the person who creates the steps, movements, and patterns of dances). "I don't call myself a choreographer, because that's a big, wonderful word that can cover up a lot of sins," she said. "I work. That's what I call what I do when I make dances." Graham invented a revolutionary new language of dance, an original way of moving that she used to reveal the joys, passions, and sorrows common to all human experience. She had a genius for connecting movement with emotion. "Here was somebody who could manifest, make visible, all those feelings that you have inside you that you can't put words to," said Bertram Ross, one of her principal dancers. For more than seventy years Graham danced, choreographed, and taught. 4 4. "And the Graham technique is used today by dance companies throughout the world." (Paragraph 6) 5 5. "While she had a comfortable childhood and a supportive family, she grew up in an environment that frowned on dancing as a career." (Paragraph 11) 6. "Dance was her reason for living." (Paragraph 12) O)​
