Question 9 • 2026-2027_MDCPS_1001375_English 3 B-CR

Read the passage.Capoeira is a form of martial arts that originated in Brazil among enslaved people. Capoeira is practiced with musical accompaniment. To a casual observer, it appears that capoeiristas are dancing rather than practicing a form of martial arts. Musical instruments such as the berimbau, drums, and tambourine are played by an ensemble. A call-and-response chorus made up of the players is led by one of the musicians. The music and dancelike moves allowed enslaved people to disguise their self-defense training from enslavers.
