Wrong flaw. This looks at the characteristics of two classes Tara is taking (one has papers but no exams and the other has exams but no papers), identifies which class Tara finds easier, and then tries to predict why Tara finds that class easier. The stimulus, meanwhile, erroneously tries to predict what Philopoulos will think about a proposal, rather than trying to identify why Philopoulos believes what he believes.

The argument starts by describing one of Jane’s stances (won’t live downtown) and one of Denise’s stances (wants to rent a penthouse apartment). It then moves to a conclusion that predicts whether Jane and Denise will decide to do something (rent one of the penthouse apartments in the Joliet Towers complex). This commits the same flaw as the stimulus of taking people’s general stances on an issue and trying to predict how they’ll react to particular decisions about that issue.

No flaw. Mayor Watson promised to never support an increase in public transportation fares, and the new proposal to improve public transportation would double public transportation fares. Therefore, Mayor Watson will oppose the proposal.

No flaw. (D) says Ed dislikes all extremely sweet foods and Bill likes most extremely sweet foods. Therefore, Ed will dislike the extremely sweet brownies and Bill will probably like them.

Wrong flaw. (E) commits a flaw of extrapolation. (E) erroneously assumes that because citizens of Lake County have voted down all proposed property tax increases in the past, they’ll vote down the new proposed property tax increase. Just because the Lake County citizens have voted down past proposed increases, that doesn’t mean they’ll vote down the new one. However, the stimulus never tries to extrapolate existing trends.
