Reading the passage

What are these noses doing? They experiment with scent combinations and produce the resulting sensations. The following sentences call the person doing that work a perfumer. The word names the creators through the sense they work with.

Working the answers

  • A
    Correct

    Perfumers create the combinations being described. Replace noses with perfumers and the sentence keeps its meaning.

  • B

    Collectors acquire perfumes; they aren't the people formulating the scents in this sentence.

  • C

    The perfumes are the products of the experimentation. They aren't the talented people doing it.

  • D

    Marketing is selling or promoting perfume, not creating its scent. Talent alone doesn't make this the right description of the work in the sentence.

  • E

    Pricing perfumes isn't the activity described either. The context concerns making an artistic combination of scents, not deciding what to charge.
