Summarize Argument

The author concludes that Sarah uses the pool at City Gym. This is based on the fact that in order to use the pool at the gym, one must have a membership, and Sarah has a membership.

Identify and Describe Flaw

The author confuses a necessary condition for using the pool (having a membership) with a sufficient condition. Although Sarah meets the necessary condition because she has a membership, that doesn’t imply that she must use the pool.
