Question 5

Clara and David each have a son. Both boys are highly talented piano players.

Clara says her son was predestined to be an excellent pianist because his grandmother was a renowned concert pianist with natural musicality.

David says it was bound to happen that his son would be an excellent pianist because he was given favorite treats and high praise whenever he practiced on his toy keyboard as a toddler.

Use your knowledge of determinism to explain Clara's and David's comments.
