Select the correct text in the passage. Which two sentences best show that music composer Leonard Bernstein drew inspiration from literature?

Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story
Leonard Bernstein was a composer who was able to write music in many different styles, including classical, pop, and jazz. In many of his works, you can hear all these styles combined together. Bernstein's music was influenced by many pieces he had heard—and even read—before. Perhaps Bernstein's most famous work is West Side Story, a Broadway musical from 1957 that was made into a film in 1961.

With West Side Story, Bernstein achieved critical and commercial success. The music he composed for the production was influenced by a variety of musical styles, including music composed by Hispanic Americans. West Side Story was also influenced by the famous play Romeo and Juliet, written in the late sixteenth century by William Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet is about two young people who fall in love but are prevented from being together because their families are feuding. In West Side Story, two people in New York City fall in love but are kept apart because they are from different communities that are in conflict with one another. Modern-day audiences were drawn to the classic story with a modern twist, and the musical remains popular to this day.

The Solitary Reaper
by William Wordsworth

Behold her, single in the field,
Yon solitary Highland Lass!
Reaping and singing by herself;
Stop here, or gently pass!
Alone she cuts and binds the grain,
And sings a melancholy strain;
O listen! for the Vale profound
Is overflowing with the sound.

No Nightingale did ever chaunt
More welcome notes to weary bands
Of travellers in some shady haunt,
Among Arabian sands:
A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard
In spring-time from the Cuckoo-bird,
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides.

Will no one tell me what she sings?—
Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
For old, unhappy, far-off things,
And battles long ago:
Or is it some more humble lay,
Familiar matter of to-day?
Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain,
That has been, and may be again?

Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang
As if her song could have no ending;
I saw her singing at her work,
And o'er the sickle bending;—
I listened, motionless and still;
And, as I mounted up the hill,
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more.
