Read the passage. Mara worked as a court stenographer by day, capturing every word exactly, and listened to jazz at night in a basement club where the saxophonist bent notes until they nearly broke. She kept the worlds separate until a witness paused, unable to describe the sound of a door closing after bad news. Mara typed the pause as faithfully as any word. That night, the saxophone's bent note sounded less like escape than another kind of accuracy. Which sequence most clearly develops the passage's theme?
