A paragraph discusses the evolution of jazz music. The writer considers adding the following sentence: 'Many early jazz musicians traveled by train between New Orleans and Chicago to find work in various clubs.'
Should the writer make this addition?
- No, because it introduces a detail about transportation that is not central to the paragraph's focus on musical style.
- Yes, because it explains why Chicago eventually became a more significant jazz center than New Orleans had been.
- Yes, because it offers a genuinely relevant historical detail about how jazz culture gradually spread across the country.
- No, because it directly contradicts the earlier claim that jazz remained a purely localized phenomenon for decades.
