PT36.S1.Q21-- kostman's original painting (parallel flaw question)

Darklord

Hi everyone,

Now this was a weird parallel flaw question because I feel like there are so many different answer explanations for the answer choices on this question all over the web, and I am not sure which ones are the most reliable. Thus, I felt maybe listing what I thought here would help clarify stuff, and I want to know what people here think (is my reasoning here look correct or not correct?)

What I thought was the flaw: transferring a non-transferrable trait from X to a reproduction of X

A-- right because it matches the flaw (crossed out A during the actual timed test because the trait isn't the same in wording like we see in the stimulus)
B-- wrong because this is a conditional relationship, not an argument
C-- wrong because this is a conditional relationship, not an argument
D-- wrong because we want to see some trait transfer from Jo to Layne, and we don't see that
E-- wrong because being similar is not the same as imitating/reproducing (chose E during my PT because I didn't realize this)

Any feedback would be very much appreciated!
thanks!
