The reasoning in the argument above is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that the argument
overlooks the possibility that some of the buildings on 20th Avenue are not old houses
draws a conclusion that simply restates one of the premises offered in support of the conclusion
fails to consider the possibility that some buildings on 20th Avenue may offer types of rental accommodation other than apartments
confuses a condition whose presence would be sufficient to ensure the truth of the argument's conclusion with a condition whose presence is required in order for the conclusion to be true
fails to address the possibility that a significant number of old houses on 20th Avenue contain three or more apartments
