Since all swans that I have encountered have been white, it follows that the
swans I
will see when I visit the Bronx Zoo will also be white.
Which of the following most closely parallels the reasoning of the preceding
argument?
A) Some birds are incapable of 'flight; therefore, swans are probably incapable
of flight.
B) Every ballet I have attended has failed to interest me; so a theatrical
production that fails to interest me must be a ballet.
C) Since all cases of severe depression I have encountered were susceptible to
treatment by chlorpromazine, there must be something in the chlorpromazine that
adjusts the patient's brain chemistry.
D) Because every society has a word for justice, the concept of fair play must
be inherent in the biological makeup of the human species.
E) Since no medicine I have tried for my allergy has ever helped, this new
product will probably not work either.
