(A) proceeds by presenting specific examples of a set (current governments) that share a common trait (being unable to regulate aspects of their economy). It then incorrectly concludes that all members of the set must share the same trait. The stimulus also concludes that all members of a set must share a trait because some members of the set have the trait, so (A) matches.

Wrong flaw. (B) introduces a recent trend—progress in machine efficiency—and then reaches the absurd conclusion that perpetual motion will eventually be developed. This is flawed because the premise provides almost no support for this claim. The stimulus, meanwhile, concludes that all members of a set must share a trait because some members of the set have the trait, so (B) doesn’t match.

Wrong flaw. (C) presents a member of a set (popular old writers) who has a certain trait (being forgotten). It then incorrectly concludes that this trait applies to all members of an entirely new set (popular new writers). The stimulus, meanwhile, concludes that all members of a set must share a trait because some members of the same set have the trait, so (C) doesn’t match.

Wrong flaw. (D) Tells us that someone has not proposed any solutions for a certain problem, and then incorrectly concludes that this means she does not care about the problem. The stimulus, meanwhile, concludes that all members of a set must share a trait because some members of the set have the trait, so (D) doesn’t match.

Wrong flaw. (E) tells us that something is best suited for success, and then incorrectly concludes that other things won’t be successful simply because they’re not the best. The stimulus, meanwhile, concludes that all members of a set must share a trait because some members of the set have the trait, so (E) doesn’t match.
