In the context of the question about Cecil Sharp finding songs that had originated in England many years before he came to America, the age of these songs can be determined by the options provided:
- Option A: Between 100 and 200 years
- Option B: Between 10 and 50 years
- Option C: Between 50 and 100 years
- Option D: More than 200 years
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider when Cecil Sharp found these songs and how long ago they had originated in England. Since Cecil Sharp was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, we can infer that the songs he found would have originated even earlier.
Given this context, the most likely answer is:
- Option D: More than 200 years
This choice aligns with the timeframe of the songs originating in England before Cecil Sharp's time, making them more than two centuries old.
