[Q]: Given the following passage "The climate of the Cretaceous is less certain and more widely disputed. Higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are thought to have caused the world temperature gradient from north to south to become almost flat: temperatures were about the same across the planet. Average temperatures were also higher than today by about 10C. In fact, by the middle Cretaceous, equatorial ocean waters (perhaps as warm as 20 C in the deep ocean) may have been too warm for sea life,[dubious discuss][citation needed] and land areas near the equator may have been deserts despite their proximity to water. The circulation of oxygen to the deep ocean may also have been disrupted.[dubious discuss] For this reason, large volumes of organic matter that was unable to decompose accumulated, eventually being deposited as "black shale".", answer the following question.

The band also played on Broadway for the play "Porgy" by DuBose and Dorothy Heyward, a stage version of their novel of the same title.

Porgy and Bess is considered the Great American Opera[citation needed] and is widely performed.", answer the following question. Note that the answer is present within the text.
