Musicians trained in classical music typically join the League of Classical Musicians with the objective of higher study of classical music and creating original compositions. The League willingly takes into its fold musicians with such motivation. However, when such musicians set up a teaching school for the general public, the other members of the League look down on such actions with contempt and claim that such musicians are not truly members of the League.
Which of the following statements best captures the assumption behind the musicians’ claim?
(A) The only qualification needed to become a true member of the League is to have a burning desire for higher study of the art and creation of original work.
(B) Music schools are considered commercial establishments and musicians are routinely condemned by the society for commercializing music by setting up such establishments.
(C) It is a matter of great prestige for a classical musician to be considered a true member of the League.
(D) Setting up of music schools deviates a classical musician from the objective of further study of classical music and creation of original compositions.
(E) Creation of classical music compositions cannot be achieved without first studying the art in depth.

The argument is made of two elements.
1) Classical Music
2) General Music school.
The assumption must cover both elements.
Eliminate A, C, and E.
(B) Music schools are considered commercial establishments and musicians are routinely condemned by the society for commercializing music by setting up such establishments.(in argument, the classical music legends are said to look down upon those musicians who open general school not society) (Out of context)
(D) Setting up of music schools deviates a classical musician from the objective of further study of classical music and creation of original compositions. (Includes both elements, and state the reason why classical music legends look down upon those who start general music school)
Answer is D

Conclusion:-Musicians who set up teaching school for public are not true members of League
Premise:- Members look down on such actions with contempt.
Given condition
A member must have the goal of higher study of classical music and creating original compositions.
pre thinking
Falsification question: In what scenario Musicians who set up teaching school for public are true members of League
They must not be looked down by collegues and have the goal of higher study and original composition.
Let's move to answers with this prethinking in mind
(A) The only qualification needed to become a true member of the League is to have a burning desire for higher study of the art and creation of original work. but even if that is ok if you still open a school you will not be a true member
(B) Music schools are considered commercial establishments and musicians are routinely condemned by the society for commercializing music by setting up such establishments. @routinely condemned, strong words not related to passage.
(C) It is a matter of great prestige for a classical musician to be considered a true member of the League. Irrelevant
(D) Setting up of music schools deviates a classical musician from the objective of further study of classical music and creation of original compositions. @@yes provides support for the conclusion that How setting up of school deviates members from the two inherent requirements for this league.
(E) Creation of classical music compositions cannot be achieved without first studying the art in depth. Irrelevant
