Look weird, the same problem with all non OG's, they focus more on wierd aspect of testthan usual one, and itis obvious astheyhavetoshow they are the toughest,masculine thoughts yeah :(

Going by whatever i can connectit is a test of changein persone, people may think x, but noone can think y looks/sound/taste better than, people may, none can.

SO A IMO. as expect a/b all other choices contains obvious flaws.
Charged up again to beat the beast :)

'no one' refers to no person where as none refers to 'not one'. In this case A is correct :
No person can dispute their creator's mastery.....
