Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
The art form of the opera was first developed in the Italian city of Florence during the 1590s. At the time a
group of composers and artists known as the Camerata were interested in injecting story telling into music.
They were inspired by the belief that the great tragic plays of ancient Greece had been sung rather than simply
acted. Another motivation may have been the desire of the composers to find an alternative to the production
of music for the Church, which they found rigid, conventional, and oppressive. This is supported by the
selection of material for the opera. Early composers took their material from the mythologies of ancient Rome
and Greece, which was full of plot twists, betrayals, and love affairs. From the very beginning, the sobriety of
the Church had little place in opera.
Opera was an almost immediate success in Italy. Composers quickly embraced the new art form for the
opportunities and creative freedom it offered. Wealthy nobles supported the opera because its elaborate and
expensive performances allowed them to display their wealth as well as their sophistication. The early years
of opera were marked primarily by experimentation. Since it was a new art form, everything was new and
untested. Early composers experimented with the structure, subject material, and organization of the opera.
They tried different placements for the orchestra, as well as different sizes. By the early 1600s, however, the
format of the opera was approaching what we know today.

A. How mythologies were used in operas. B. How operas were formed.

34. The underlined word ‘them’ in the 2nd paragraph refers to __________.
A. operas B. composers C. performances D. rich people
