Only experienced salespeople will be able to meet the company’s selling quota. Thus, I must not count as an experienced salesperson, since I will be able to sell only half the quota.
The pattern of flawed reasoning exhibited by the argument above is most similar to that exhibited by which one of the following?
A． Only on Fridays are employees allowed to dress casually. Today is Friday but Hector is dressed formally. So he must not be going to work.
B． Only music lovers take this class. Thus, since Hillary is not taking this class, she apparently does not love music.
C． Only oceanographers enjoy the Atlantic in midwinter. Thus, we may expect that Gerald does not enjoy the Atlantic in midwinter, since he is not an oceanographer.
D． As this tree before us is a giant redwood, it follows that we must be in a northern latitude, since it is only in northern latitudes that one finds giant redwoods.
E． Only accomplished mountain climbers can scale El Capitan. Thus, Michelle must be able to scale El Capitan, since she is an accomplished mountain climber.
