IELTS passage problems

Hello,

The paragraph is depicted in the attached file. The question asks first what is the best heading for this paragraph. The answer is "Why our sense of smell is not appreciated". Subsequently, there is a second question: "What is the writer doing in paragraph C". The answer is "Rejecting a common belief"

After I saw the two answers, I think they contradict each other. Since the writer is trying to propose his idea that human noses are acute, and can recognize many types of smells. Do you think that the latter answer should be "making a proposal" instead?
