Of the many works in a collection from Japan's Tokugawa period that the museum will soon put on display, those that are most sensitive to light, as well as the most valuable pieces, will be on display for two weeks only. █████ ████████ ███████ ███ ██████ ███████ ████ ██ ██ ███████ ███ ███ █████ █████ ██ ██ ██ ███████ █████ ███ ████ ████████ ██████ ██ ███ ███████████
The argument identifies two types of paintings that will be on display for only two weeks (those that are sensitive to light and those that are most valuable), then concludes that Hoitsu’s painting must be a certain one of those two types (among the most valuable) because it will be on display for only two weeks.
This is a cookie-cutter example of an argument mistaking a sufficient condition for a necessary one. A painting being among the most valuable pieces is sufficient for it to be displayed for only two weeks, but it’s not necessary. In fact, the argument gives another example of paintings that are also displayed for just two weeks—ones that are sensitive to light.
