In her youth, Franklin worked with some of gospel music's greatest stars, such as Mahalia Jackson and Clara Ward. By the age of 12, Franklin was singing solos. These highlighted the beauty and power of her voice. By the age of 14, Franklin has recorded her first gospel album. At the age of 18, Franklin moved to New York to pursue her career as a singer. Talent scouts offered her several contracts, and she signed with one of the companies. Franklin made many albums over the next few years, but her talents were not fully expressed. Instead of rhythm and blues, Franklin was performing only pop and jazz. In 1966, when her contract expired, Franklin signed with another company. Now she was able to focus on her rhythm and blues roots while weaving in gospel and rock. The styles mixed well with her natural talents, and provided a showcase for her soulful voice. Over the next few years, Franklin sold millions of albums. She recorded many hits such as "Respect" and "Chain of Fools". In 1987 Franklin was inducted into the rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Давайте разберем каждое утверждение:

1. Aretha Franklin became one of the stars of rock and roll. - Ответ: False (F) - Обоснование: Текст не указывает, что Арета Франклин стала одной из звезд рок-н-ролла. Она фокусировалась на ритм-н-блюз, госпел и роке, но не обязательно на рок-н-ролле.

2. Gospel music influenced emerging rhythm and blues talents. - Ответ: True (T) - Обоснование: Текст говорит о том, что госпел музыка оказала влияние на молодых талантов в ритм-н-блюз, включая Арету Франклин.

3. Franklin grew up singing gospel music in church. - Ответ: True (T) - Обоснование: Текст подтверждает, что Арета Франклин выросла, поющей госпел в церкви, где её отец был проповедником, а мать — певицей госпела.

4. Franklin is the best singer of all time. - Ответ: Not Given (NG) - Обоснование: Текст не содержит информации о том, является ли Арета Франклин лучшей певицей всех времен.

5. Franklin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. - Ответ: True (T) - Обоснование: Текст утверждает, что в 1987 году Арета Франклин была включена в Зал славы рок-н-ролла и стала первой женщиной, получившей это почётное звание.

6. Franklin focused on rhythm and blues blended with gospel and rock music. - Ответ: True (T) - Обоснование: Текст указывает, что после подписания нового контракта в 1966 году, Франклин могла сосредоточиться на своих корнях в ритм-н-блюз, смешивая их с госпел и роком, что выражалось в её характерном соул-звучании.
