Anyone? What I thought is →
few of them laugh at themselves – although – _______
so I thought, it can be either many laugh or no one laugh at themselves, but couldn’t pick a proper choice
Here few describes (or modifies) rock musicians, not the willingness to laugh.
Few rock musicians are willing to laugh at themselves = most rock musicians think that willingness to laugh at themselves is a bad idea
(Willingness to laugh at themselves) is a bad idea although (Willingness to laugh at themselves) is not that bad
Basically, in the blank, you have to reuse the word willingness to laugh at themselves = self-deprecation
Hi there. So my approach to this question would be as the following: few musicians represents no musician. The first half of the sentence indicating musicians are not fan of mocking themselves. The idea after although must be something that props up this self-mocking behavior since this transition word indicating a contrast.
Although mocking can bring something beneficial, still, hell no, we as musicians don’t laugh at ourselves.
So the blank somhow fills this idea, reusing the idea “laugh at themselves”, which leads to the answer choice----self-deprecation.
