Expression of Ideas - Rhetorical Synthesis

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • Sister Rosetta Tharpe (1915–1973) was a gospel musician.
  • She was known for her passionate vocals and electric guitar performances.
  • In 2018, Tharpe was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for her major impact on the genre.
  • According to songwriter Roxie Moore, “[Tharpe] would sing until you cried and then she would sing until you danced for joy.”
  • According to guitarist Celisse Henderson, “Tharpe is the unquestioned founding mother of rock ’n’ roll.”

The student wants to use a quotation to support a claim about Tharpe’s contribution to rock ’n’ roll. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
