This is a flaw question, and we know that because of the question stem: A flaw in the reasoning in the argument above is that this argument…

We’re told that a when liquid from a bottle labeled “vinegar” is added to a box labeled “baking soda”, it does not fizz. Usually, when baking soda and acidic liquid (like vinegar) is combine, fizzing occurs. Because of this, the author concludes that the bottle was mislabeled. However, is this the only thing mislabeled? We don’t have enough evidence to rule out that the box was not mislabeled. We also can’t rule out that the vinegar is just gone bad and that’s why it’s not reacting.

Answer Choice (A) is not descriptively accurate; this is exactly what he’s suggesting.

Correct Answer Choice (B) is descriptively accurate and it’s the flaw. We already listed out two possibilities it could have been that the stimulus fails to rule out.

Answer Choice (C) is descriptively inaccurate; the use of the term fizz does not change.

Answer Choice (D) is descriptively accurate (it’s not entirely that principles can only be tested in labs, but let’s grant that it is); however, this is not a scientific principle.

Answer Choice (E) is descriptively inaccurate - the argument does not saying anything about the intention to deceive.
