A
presumes, without warrant, that one is likely to feel uncomfortable approaching a person only if that person is a stranger
The argument’s assumption concerns the likelihood of feeling comfortable approaching a stranger based on that stranger’s age. But it doesn’t concern the likelihood of feeling uncomfortable based on that person’s status as a stranger or non-stranger.
B
infers that a characteristic is present in a situation from the fact that that characteristic is present in most similar situations
The conclusion concerns long-term friends and whether they’re likely the same age as each other. But this isn’t based on a premise about situations similar to long-term friendship. One premise directly concerns most long-term friendships.
C
overlooks the possibility that one is less likely to feel comfortable approaching someone who is one’s approximate age if that person is a stranger than if that person is not a stranger
The argument’s assumption concerns the likelihood of feeling comfortable approaching a stranger based on that stranger’s age. But it doesn’t concern the likelihood of feeling comfortable based on that person’s status as a stranger or non-stranger.
D
presumes, without warrant, that one never approaches a stranger unless one feels comfortable doing so
We know most long-term friendships begin when someone felt comfortable approaching a stranger. Even if one can approach a stranger when uncomfortable, we know this doesn’t apply to the long-term friendships we’re concerned about.
E
fails to address whether one is likely to feel comfortable approaching a stranger who is not one’s approximate age
If one is likely to feel comfortable approaching a stranger who’s not of the same age, then that opens the possibility that most long-term friendships could have begun when people of different approx. ages felt comfortable approaching each other.
