It's common for jazz musicians all "swing," indicating that the songs provoke a strong feeling, like the unpus to tap one's foot or dance. The exact acoustic properties that give a song swing, however, have long been thought to be undefinable. To investigate swing, a team led by physicist Corentin Nelias delayed the downbeats and synchronized the offbeats in jazz piano solos and asked jazz musicians to compare the intensity of swing in each modified piece with the intensity of swing in the original piece. They found that participants were more than seven times likelier to characterize the modified songs as having swing than to characterize the original versions as having swing, suggesting that __ Which choice most logically completes the text? Choose 1 answer: A the acoustic properties that give a song swing are not easy for jazz musicians to manipulate B jazz songs that feature the piano are more likely to have swing than are jazz songs that do not feature the piano. C synchronized offbeats tend to give a song swing regardless of whether downbeats are delayed. D the timing of downbeats and offbeats may play a crucial role in giving a song swing.

## Step 1The problem presents a scenario where a team of researchers, led by physicist Corentin Nelias, conducted an experiment to investigate the concept of "swing" in jazz music. They modified the timing of the downbeats and offbeats in jazz piano solos and asked jazz musicians to compare the intensity of swing in each modified piece with the intensity of swing in the original piece.## Step 2The results of the experiment showed that participants were more than seven times likelier to characterize the modified songs as having swing than to characterize the original versions as having swing. This suggests that the timing of the downbeats and offbeats may play a crucial role in giving a song swing.## Step 3Given the context and the results of the experiment, the most logical conclusion to complete the text would be that the timing of downbeats and offbeats may play a crucial role in giving a song swing. This is because the experiment showed that when the timing of these beats was modified, the participants perceived the song as having more swing.
