I believe the right answer here is (E) - complexity --
The author of passage 1 mentions the positive benefit of complexity right in line 1 (and throughout). The author of passage 2 also discusses complexity, indirectly, throughout, and mentions it most directly in the last line.
In terms of (A) -- continuous sound is mentioned in passage 1, but it is not discussed in passage 2. Passage 2 discusses setting up expectations, then meeting or going against them -- this isn't the came thing as having sound start and stop --
Tough q -- many of the most tempting wrong answers for comparative q's will relate directly to one passage, but not the other.
