To determine how the writer creates cohesion between the first and second paragraphs of the explanatory text, you would need to consider how ideas and concepts are connected between those paragraphs.

If the first paragraph discusses the blues as a musical form and the second paragraph continues that discussion by emphasizing its nature as a lyric form, then choice c. by repeating the idea that the blues is a lyric form would suggest a clear connection focusing on that aspect.

If both paragraphs link primarily through the concept of the blues as a musical genre, then choice d. by repeating the idea that the blues is a musical form would work.

Ultimately, the correct answer depends on the specific content of the paragraphs in question. If you can provide the paragraphs, I can help confirm which option best describes how cohesion is created.
