#4 - A strong correlation exists between what people value

[Adam Tyson]

Symptomatic means showing signs or symptoms of something else, and it indicates a causal relationship, goingslow (although at least sometimes it indicates an erroneous causal relationship, such as a misdiagnosis in medicine). If our values are symptomatic of our actions, it would mean that our values are indications of the actions that caused them, and so that rewording of answer B would still be backwards.

I do think there is an important temporal relationship in the conclusion that we need to be sure to capture in the correct answer, and it's that the values come first and the actions follow from them. If anything is going to be a symptom here, it must be the actions, since symptoms follow from the cause. The actions are symptomatic of the values, rather than vice versa.
