This answer choice makes a hasty generalization between poets and all types of artists, much as the author did between amoebas and all types of microorganisms. Additionally, this answer choice assumes that poets and people under hypnosis use odd language for the same reason, just as the author of the stimulus assumed that pain must be the motivator for withdrawing from harmful stimuli in both humans and amoebas.

Wrong flaw. While this answer choice assumes that the motives of a corporation must be the same as a nonprofit, which is similar to how the stimulus assumed the motives of a human are the same as an amoeba, this answer choice lacks the hasty generalization present in the stimulus.

Wrong flaw. While this answer choice assumes the motives of two groups must be the same, like the stimulus does, this answer choice uses a “most” relationship where the stimulus has none. Additionally, this argument doesn’t make a hasty generalization in the same way as the stimulus. The stimulus generalizes between a set of things and a member of that set, whereas this answer choice generalizes between two members of a set.

No flaw. The conclusion that a type of predatory bird, hawks, are likely solitary hunters follows from the premise that predatory birds are usually solitary hunters.

Wrong flaw. This argument assumes the reason for British Columbia’s lack of low-lying hiking trails must be the same as New Mexico’s, much as the stimulus assumes the reason for humans withdrawing from harmful stimuli must be the same as amoebas’. However, this answer choice lacks the flaw of hasty generalization present in the stimulus. The author would have had to generalize about some superset which included British Columbia, such as all hiking trails in Canada, for this to match the stimulus.
