Passage 2
 It seems the art of survival — or continual positive projection — in the world of pop music these days, depends very much on change. If artists fail to recreate their persona — chameleon-like, over and over again — they risk facing accusations of dullness; that is, they are not fashionable. 
 This phenomenon is especially prevalent in the female ranks. It is not sufficient for an artist to be beautiful and sexy. These characteristics too must be changed often, and remodeled to avoid being bogged down by a stereotype. 
 Two examples of the rock 'n' roll art of move and change are Cher and Madonna, the latter a brilliant illustration of the trend. Her latest disc, 'Something to Remember', showcases her hit ballads and how she has so effectively been able to stay at the top without diminishing credibility in her particular field. (For these purposes, we will forget her unworthy flirtation with sex, that horrible book and her expletive-ridden, cigar-chomping appearance on the David Letterman Show.) 
 This collection demonstrates how she has toned down her dominatrix image at relevant times to give contrast and definition to her career. But it offers more than simply a study in rock fashion history. There is also a solid assortment of quality music.

【題組】45. In paragraph 3, the writer mentions Madonna's “unworthy flirtation with sex, that horrible book and the cigar chomping appearance...... “
(A) to criticize her unworthy past.
(B) to contrast the positive points of her record.
(C) to illustrate the trend of change in rock 'n' roll.
(D) to diminish her credibility.
