解説：なぜまちがえたのか？

What is one thing that we learn about Sam Phillips?に対する答えの根拠は、本文にHe started a company called Sun Records in the 1950s.とあります。なので、正解は…2.He started a music company.です。

準２級から２級までは、本文の言い換えで（パラフレーズ化した選択肢で）できているので、該当箇所を探せばできるようになりますね。特に、今回の問題も、本文には具体的に「彼は1950年代にサン・レコードという会社を設立しました。」とあるのを、「彼は音楽会社を立ち上げました。」と選択肢では抽象的に表現しています。苦手意識のある人は、易しい問題で、言い換えに注意していくことが大切です。
