The correct response is:
by repeating the idea that the blues is a musical form.
The blues are a form of folk music created by African Americans in the South in the early 1900s. The origins of this musical form are uncertain, but scholars believe that work songs and church music played important roles. During the Great Migration of the 1920s and 1930s, African American musicians brought the blues north to large cities such as Chicago. Characteristics of the blues strongly influenced the development of other musical genres, including jazz, country, rock and roll, and rhythm and blues.
The blues are primarily a lyrical (sung) musical form that is characterized by a word extended over several different notes and pitches that are slightly lower, or flatter, than what is usual. The rhythm usually has syncopation, and the mood is one of sadness, often because of lost love. Performances often take a call-and-response form, in which the singer sings a sentence and an instrumentalist response. Instruments most often used in blues bands are guitar, piano, bass guitar, and drums. Brass instruments, often with mutes, and saxophones are also common.
