Question
24

The reasoning in the argument is flawed in that it

presumes, without warrant, that one is likely to feel uncomfortable approaching a person only if that person is a stranger

infers that a characteristic is present in a situation from the fact that that characteristic is present in most similar situations

overlooks the possibility that one is less likely to feel comfortable approaching someone who is one's approximate age if that person is a stranger than if that person is not a stranger

presumes, without warrant, that one never approaches a stranger unless one feels comfortable doing so

fails to address whether one is likely to feel comfortable approaching a stranger who is not one's approximate age
