Which item is NOT a Step in Pathway 1?

• A. Step 2 of Pathway 1
• B. Step 3 of Pathway 1
• C. Step 7 of Pathway 1
• D. Pathway 2

Answer: (D)

Pathway structure has each pathway functioning as its own sequence of steps. A choice that is a Step in Pathway 1 belongs to that first pathway’s progression. The option that represents Pathway 2, however, is not part of Pathway 1’s sequence—it belongs to a different pathway altogether. Because it is a different pathway rather than a step within Pathway 1, it cannot be considered a Step in Pathway 1. This distinction helps you see which items are actual steps within a given pathway versus items that belong to another pathway.
