And if any of you are curious about where this aggregation, this whole battery-powered crew, is headed, let us just say that the

real center of the universe, the only true point of view, is full of the hope that he, the hub of the cosmos with his hair blown sideways, will eventually make it all the way downtown. What message does Collins convey in this excerpt? Working downtown can be challenging. Music is a positive distraction to the routine of daily life. Curious people believe the world revolves around music. High volume is much better than low volume.

The correct answer is B.

In these lines, Collins indicates that music is a positive distraction to the routine of daily life. Thanks to the music coming through his earphones, the subject of the poem believes he is "the real center of the universe." He is paying more attention to the music he hears than he is to what is happening around him. For this reason, music is a positive distraction.

I believe the missing excerpt is from Midsummer by Derek Walcott, which is as follows:

 

With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, 
midsummer's leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses;
they seethe toward autumn's fire—it is in their nature,
being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun.

 

So, based on the excerpt, the speaker thinks that the riot was somewhat inevitable.

 

To add, Midsummer is a sequence of 54 lyrics that record one year's passing in the poet's life from summer to summer.
