Complete Question Explanation
Flaw in the Reasoning. The correct answer choice is (C)
The flaw in this stimulus is found in the author’s assertion that, because two individual styles bring about two attributes, a combination of the two must cause both attributes to appear. This is certainly not true, especially with regard to aesthetics. Two styles may not mix well, and may not lead to either attribute’s being manifest in the hybrid style.
Answer choice (A): While this is a logical flaw, it is not one displayed in this stimulus, so this answer choice is incorrect.
Answer choice (B): The argument does not make this assertion, so this cannot be the flaw found here, and this answer choice cannot be correct.
Answer choice (C): This is the correct answer choice, which restates the point made in the discussion above: a combination of two styles may not bring about either intended attribute.
Answer choice (D): There is no need to make such a specification. Since this isn’t even a flaw, this cannot be the flaw manifest in this stimulus.
Answer choice (E): Like incorrect answer choice (D) above, this answer choice deals with irrelevant considerations. The argument does not require that we consider other architectural styles, so this is not a flaw, and this answer choice is incorrect.
