To analyze from the Beginner perspective let’s add some conditions that, since you possibly do not know Tango yet, or not from this perspective, you might find it surprising that they need to be stated. But in Tango nothing has one answer, nothing has one side, nothing is white or black and fifty shades of gray is the understatement. So assume nothing, be open to anything.
