PrepTest 84, Section 3, Question 8
Of the many works in a collection from Japan's Tokugawa period that the museum will soon put on display, those that are most sensitive to light, as well as the most valuable pieces, will be on display for two weeks only. Sakai Hoitsu's "Spring and Autumn Maples" will be on display for two weeks only, so it is clearly among the most valuable pieces in the collection.

The flawed pattern of reasoning in the argument above most closely parallels that in which one of the following?
The city council will soon commission surveyors to update the city map. The new map will reflect existing structures as well as planned housing developments. But the housing development I live in was built several decades ago, so it will not be on the updated map.
The city map was recently updated. Purple dots now indicate public buildings, whereas on the old map, blue dots indicated public buildings. On the updated map, the bank is designated with a blue dot. So the bank must have been a public building at some time in the past.
I have just purchased the new city map, whose legend indicates that thoroughfares are marked by solid lines and that dotted lines designate one-way streets. Shearing Street is marked by a dotted line, even though it is a thoroughfare. So the mapmakers must have made a mistake.
On this city map, a solid line designates the city limits. Solid lines also designate major thoroughfares. So there is no way of determining whether a particular solid line on the map is a thoroughfare or an indicator of the city limits.
The legend on this city map indicates that historical monuments are designated by purple dots. Hospitals are also designated by purple dots. There is a purple dot on Wilson Street. So there must be a hospital on Wilson Street.
