Question
24

Which one of the following arguments is most similar in its logical features to the argument above?

At least one of the players in the orchestra must have made a mistake, since nothing else would have made the conductor grimace in the way she just did.

The first piece must have been the easiest, since it was the only piece in the entire concert in which the orchestra did not make many mistakes.

The players play well only when they like the music, since they tend to make mistakes when they play something they do not like.

One of the orchestra's players must be able to play the harp, since in one of the pieces they are playing at next week's concert the composer specified that a harp should be played.

The emotion of the music is the only thing that can have caused the conductor to look so angry just then, since the orchestra was playing perfectly.
