Columnist: Senators who are not firmly committed to a core set of beliefs will formulate new campaign strategies and moot points before each upcoming election.

Therefore, senators who are not firmly committed to a core set of beliefs are elected to serve multiple terms in office. Which one of the following displays a flawed pattern of reasoning most closely parallel to that in the columnist’s argument? (Answer the question after reading the following paragraph.)

Direction: Read the following short passages and choose the best answers to the questions that follow each passage.

Therefore, nuclear proliferation will not accelerate unless there is an increase in regional instability.

Option B: if health care costs continue to rise, foreign currency markets will devalue the Euro. But health care costs will not continue to rise. Therefore, foreign currency markets will not devalue the Euro.

Option C: A loyal person is a likeable person, for a loyal person always stands by her friends and a likeable person also always stands by her friends.
