Critical Reasoning (CR) | The spacing of the four holes on a fragment of a bone flute excavated

One reason for the confusion between (B) and (E) could be that people incorrectly paraphrased the passage (just as I did). It never mentions that the bone is sufficient to play the diatonic scale. The argument only suggests that the bone might be likely to play it as it could play some parts of it.

If the argument had stated that the bone could completely play the diatonic scale, then (B) would have served as a strengthener.

Hope this helps someone.
