What does the word ‘a capella’ signify?
Answer: B
A capella, spelt acapella in the passage, signifies without instrumental accompaniment. The passage says that performers mostly sang madrigals acapella, meaning without instrumental accompaniment, so the word describes singing by voices alone.
A song for several voices is the definition of a madrigal, not of the word acapella. Secular vocal music describes the kind of music madrigals developed from. Verse in the 14th century refers to the early form from which the Renaissance madrigal developed. The meaning of the term itself is only given by the second option.
