Help with a hard CR question?

<p>It’s question 14, section 4 on this test: <a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools;

<p>I chose A but the answer is B. With this problem, though, I don’t really see a difference between the choices; wouldn’t resolving their differences and merging opinions kind of be one in the same? I’m so lost with this question. Thank you!!!</p>

<p>The clue is “splice them together” in line 50, which matches “merged” in answer choice B. Resolving differences isn’t the same–that just means making up or reconciling. “Merged” means they’re really joined into one, or “spliced.”</p>
