    Reason for
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The advance quasi-depends on the Sergeant's orders, because in a world where the Major gives no order, the advance would depend on the Sergeant's orders.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Yet intuitively, the Major—not the Sergeant—caused the advance.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
