Hi,

The second half of the sentence doesn't make sense to me. The part where it says "perhaps they feel uncomfortable in a world where nothing discernible is _________."

Do you mind breaking apart this part of the sentence for me?

Sure! This part of the sentence is saying that maybe music lovers feel uncomfortable if nothing is _________. Essentially, this is a shift away from the first part of the sentence: certain music lovers want perfection, but then they feel uncomfortable when everything is perfect and nothing is wrong.

Why can't novelty (originality) & changed (remain same..not novel?) work?

When music lovers get refreshing music (originality) they feel uncomfortable if it is not changed.

Hi Abhinav!

The problem with those choices is that they create a sentence that is illogical in meaning.

If the music is novel, then, by definition, something must be changed. Otherwise the music would not be novel — it would be the same as before.
