Jazz is America’s contribution to popular music. In contrast to classical music, which follows formal European traditions, jazz is 【C1】______ and free-form.
The 【C2】______ of this music are as interesting as the music itself. Jazz was invented by American Negroes, who were brought to the Southern states as slaves. They were sold to plantation owners and forced to work long hours in the cotton and tobacco fields. This work was hard and life was short. When a Negro died his friends and relatives formed a procession to carry the body to the cemetery.
A band often 【C3】______ the procession. On the way to the cemetery the band played slow, solemn music suited to the occasion. But on the way home the 【C4】______ changed. Spirits lifted. Everybody was happy. Death had 【C5】______ one of their members, but the living were glad to be alive. The band played happy music, improvising on both the harmony and the melody of the tunes presented at the funeral. This music made everyone want to dance. It was an early 【C6】______of jazz.
Music has always been important in Negro life. Coming 【C7】______ from West Africa, the blacks who were brought to America already 【C8】______ a rich musical tradition. This music centered on religious ceremonies in which dancing, singing, clapping, and stamping to the beat of a drum were important forms of musical and 【C9】______ expression. As these people settled into their new life in the plantations of the South, music 【C10】______ its importance. In the fields, they made up work songs. Singing made the hard work go faster.

解析
空格所在主句缺少谓语,再结合从句谓语were brought,可知空格填入动词的过去式。本段首句提到音乐在黑人的生活中一直很重要,此处进一步说明他们原本就有丰富的音乐传统,词库中possessed“拥有,具备”符合语义,故选I。本句实际表达的是黑人本身有这样的音乐传统,因而创造出爵士乐。而不是说黑人保留住这种传统,故排除retained“保留,保存”。
