Run the #""^13C{""^1H}# #"NMR spectrum"# first.............

Explanation:

And see this [older answer.](https://socratic.org/questions/how-can-i-read-a-c-13-nmr-spectrum) Symmetry is the key to rationalizing all spectroscopy. When we consider an organic molecule for its likely #""^1H# or #""^13C{""^1H}# #"NMR spectrum"# it is useful to assume the maximum symmetry possible.
