Why should placing your left hand fingers simultaneously be your goal when you play chords? To ensure you do not experience pain in your left hand fingers To ensure you use appropriate strumming patterns with your right hand To ensure that only the pressed strings are sounding To ensure you transition quickly and smoothly between chords

If there's anything I learned from being a musician and being in honors band, it's that music is selfless and doesn't care about the amount of pain you feel. Yes, there are cures and therapies to treat those, but there is always going to be pain in music. Besides, would you even feel pain during this? I don't think so. To ensure proper strumming patterns? Na, that can be taught in other ways. The pressed strings ARE always sounding unless you press the middle of two strings. The last one, D, is correct because it helps you transition smoothly without it sounding like 600 strings sounding before you actually hit the right string.

the correct answer is d.
