Analyzing the physics of dance can add fundamentally to a dancer's skill. Although dancer seldom see themselves totally in physical terms— as body mass moving through space under the influence of well-known forces and obeying physical laws— neither can they afford to ignore the physics of movement. For example, no matter how much a dancer wishes to leap off the floor and then start turning, the law of conservation of angular momentum absolutely prevents such a movement. Some movements involving primarily vertical or horizontal motions of the body as a whole, in which rotations can be ignored, can be studied using simple equations of linear motions in three dimensions. However, rotational motions require more complex approaches that involve analyses of the way the body's mass is distributed, the axes of rotation involved indifferent types of movement, and the sources of the forces that produce the rotational movement.
1. The primary purpose of the passage is to
A. initiate a debate over two approaches to analyzing a field of study
B. describe how one field of knowledge can be applied to another field
C. point out the contradictions between two distinct theories
D. define and elaborate on an accepted scientific principle
E. discuss the application of a new theory within a new setting

C. point out the contradictions between two distinct theories
D. define and elaborate on an accepted scientific principle
E. discuss the application of a new theory within a new setting
2. The author mentions all of the following as contributing to an understanding of the physics of dance EXCEPT
A. the law of conservation of angular momentum
B. analyses of the way in which the body's mass is distributed
C. explain why one approach to understanding a problem is better than another
D. analyses of the sources that produce rotational motions
E. factors that limit movements such as leaps and turns

B. analyses of the way in which the body's mass is distributed
C. explain why one approach to understanding a problem is better than another
D. analyses of the sources that produce rotational motions
E. factors that limit movements such as leaps and turns
3. The author agrees with each of the following about the physics of dance EXCEPT:
A. Understanding the physics of dance may require a complex approach
B. Simple equations of linear motion are insufficient to understand the physics of dance
C. Dancers should view themselves primarily in physical terms and not ignore the physics of movement
D. The law of conservation of angular momentum restricts dance movements
E. Body mass moving through space is under the influence of well-known forces
A. Understanding the physics of dance may require a complex approach
B. Simple equations of linear motion are insufficient to understand the physics of dance
C. Dancers should view themselves primarily in physical terms and not ignore the physics of movement

Official Solution:
Solution 1:
1. OA: B
The passage talks about dancing and how understanding physics helps understand it better. Option B fits this description.
A: No two approaches discussed
C: No such comparison is made
D: That it is an accepted principle is not supported by the passage
E: application of a “new” approach – no evidence that this is new.
2. OA: E
The passage discusses all the ideas mentioned in options A, B, C and D but does not mention “he technical terms for movements such as leaps and turns” Option E is therefore the correct answer.
3. OA: C
Since this is an except question, we must eliminate all the options that the author is likely to agree with. The one that's left is the right answer.
(A) Line 6 clearly says that 'the law of conservation of angular momentum clearly prevents such a movement'.
(B) The passage says that movements involving just vertical or horizontal motion can be analysed through linear equations, but these equations cannot represent rotational motion adequately.
(C) Nowhere does the author suggest that dancers must view themselves 'primarily' in physical terms.
(D) Analyzing the physics of dance, which involves rotational motion, requires 'complex approaches' – line 10
(E) Line 3 states this explicitly

Can someone help me with the following:
1. In question 2, option E says about leaps and turns. Which is mentioned in the paragraph saying “no matter how much a dancer wishes to leap off the floor and then start turning, the law of conservation of angular momentum prevents such a moment”. I’d that the factor that limits movements such as leaps and turns?
2. In question 3, option B also looks wrong. Why isn’t B an answer then?
Please throw some light on this
