Station X of length 900 meters has two station masters A and B. But as the station is not a busy one, they are mostly jobless and decide to conduct an experiment. They stand at either end of the station and decide to note the exact time when trains cross the station masters. They synchronize their watches and proceed to either end of the station. Two trains P and Q go past the station (neither train stops here), and after having taken down their readings, the station masters sit down to have a chat. A: Train P entered the station at exactly 8:00:00 B: Train Q entered the station at exactly 8:00:10 (10 seconds past 8) A: The last carriage of train P crossed me by at 8:00:20, and precisely two seconds after this, the engines of the two trains went past each other. (Engines are at the front of the train) B: The last carriage of train Q crossed me 22 seconds after the engine of P went past me. A: After the last carriage of train P crossed by me, it took 35 seconds for the engine of train Q to cross me. B: I got bored and I came here.

Choose the most appropriate answer to the following question based on the information given in the passage.
I am a huge fan of playing by ear of picking out tunes without the aid of written music, and of allowing your ears to be your guide. I believe that musicians with strong theoretical training often thoughtlessly dismiss the skill of playing by ear. They believe that figuring out a melody by picking it out in a "trial and error" method is resorted to by those who can't read music. On the contrary, I personally believe that every successful musician must have the ability to play by ear. Here is an analogy to explain:
When you were born, and until you were approximately one year old, you were essentially a nonverbal person. You communicated your needs and desires with crying, gurgles and nondescript vocalizations. Your parents became experts on how to interpret those vocalizations. By hearing speech around you, and with occasional corrections by your parents, you slowly began a process of developing a vocabulary completely by ear. You did not "study" English. Yet within a couple of years, by the time you reached the age of three or so, you were communicating your ideas verbally, using nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs more or less correctly.
At a certain point, several years later, you learned how to read. You learned why words work together the way they do. And by doing so, you enhanced your own use of the language, and increased your ability to communicate ideas. By learning to read, an entire world was opened up to you. Like Mozart's ability to study other composer's music, you were able to begin to read other people's words, and to thereby further heighten your own abilities to use and manipulate words.
According to the author, which of the following is not true of playing by ear?
(1) Playing by ear is a nontheoretical stage of learning about music. (2) It is absolutely essential to a solid development of musicality. (3) It is a major way of learning and can substitute theoretical learning. (4) It is rejected by musicians with strong theoretical training.

. Which of the following can be said to logically support the case of giving playing by ear a fair chance as an approach in learning music?
(1) As a child, you weren't taught English, but still within a couple of years, you began to use English as a means to communicate.
(2) Learning the theory of English in school, such as nouns, verbs and adjectives, will not necessarily make you a great writer.
(3) Learning a new language by jumping straight into learning how to conjugate verbs and learning lists of vocabulary is not as effective as learning the language by ear first.
(4) It is better to persist only with playing by ear as it is a time tested and proven method.
