I’m wondering (1) why (B) is the correct answer, (2) how to solve this kind of problem fast, and (3) if this (rather tricky?) parallel reasoning question comes up typically in more recent tests.When dealing with parallel reasoning, and diagramming arguments, the order in which the author places the conclusion and the premises does not effect their logical relationship.
So given that the stimulus is: “all birds…all birds…some birds,” I thought (B) is wrong because of the structure “some chairs…other chairs…Therefore, not all chairs.” (Difference in "all" (stimulus) and "some" (answer (B)))
I also thought the stimulus lacks an argument (that is, it's just a fact set), so it doesn't match (B).
I'd appreciate any help!
