Read the following English translation of an excerpt from a contemporary short story set in Paracho, Mexico:
Clara ran her fingers along the cured spruce top of the guitar, feeling the grain that had tightened over decades of silence. In her family's workshop, where the scent of cedar and glue had lingered for three generations, each instrument was treated not merely as an object of commerce, but as a vessel for voices yet unheard. Her grandfather used to say that a luthier does not create sound; they simply release the music already trapped within the wood. As Clara adjusted the bracing of the soundboard, she thought of the hands that would eventually play it��hands she would never meet, yet would be intimately connected to through this shared vibration. Outside, the modern world rushed by with its digital screens and synthetic noises, but inside the workshop, time was measured by the shaving of spruce and the slow curing of varnish. For Clara, preserving this slow craft was not about resisting progress, but about ensuring that the human spirit retained a resonant, tactile anchor in an increasingly ephemeral world.
Based on the passage, which of the following best expresses the central theme of Clara’s work as a luthier?
- AThe physical release of sounds historically trapped within the spruce wood used for guitar construction.
- BClara's frustration with the isolation of her workshop and her desire to connect with the modern digital world.
- The preservation of traditional craft as a means of maintaining human connection and depth in a fast-paced world.Cevap
- DThe inevitable decline of ancestral craftsmanship in the face of modern industrial manufacturing.
