<li>My partner in the computer class A worked on the same programs as B I, but his method of solving the problems was C quite D different than mine. E No error.</li>
</ol>

<p>I know D is definitely wrong, but isn’t B wrong too?</p>

<li>Excerpt: “The reason why the impact of this type of music is not as great when it first comes out is thought to be because technically the intricacy of the music is not high and not sohpisticated, although many critics believe it is because the music elicits a particular emotional feeling which gradually becomes worn out in time”</li>
</ol>

<p>Q: The reason why the enjoyment of a particular piece of contemporary music may not last as long as a piece of classical music is due to the
(A) emotion of a person, which is thought to change in time
(B) high sohpistication of the classical music and its technical intricacy
(C) fact that here is always another piece of contemporary music that replaces the one before it
(D) youth desiring something new
(E) economy and marketing of the CD’s</p>

<p>This is so ambiguous, both A and B seem to be right. The correct answer is A though.</p>

<li><p>It is still grammatically correct. Furthermore, if you process of elimination that can be your answer. If it were me, I would be choosing between A and C but then going with A because it is the shorter answer.</p></li>
<li><p>Here, "My partner worked on the same programs as I did. Substitute it that way and you see it is correct.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Its hard to answer your question with just that excerpt. I can’t tell which type of music their referring to in the first place. However, it must be A because the last sentence mentions that the emotional feeling for this music becomes worn out. Although high sophistication(B) may seem tempting, it is not why people lose interest; The so called lack of sophistication is “thought to be”(1st sentence) the reason for the minimal impact when it is JUST released. Therefore A must be the correct answer because the only way for emotional feelings to be worn out is human emotion to change and lose interest in this genre of music. </p>

<p>Hope that helps.</p>
