PrepTest 85, Section 3, Question 24
A recent poll of a large number of households found that 47 percent of those with a cat had at least one person with a university degree, while 38 percent of households with a dog had at least one person with a university degree. Clearly, people who hold university degrees are more likely to live in a household with a cat than one with a dog.

The reasoning in the argument is flawed in that the argument
ignores the possibility that a significant number of households might have both a cat and a dog
takes for granted that there are not significantly more households with a dog than ones with a cat
fails to consider how many of the households have at least one person without a university degree
fails to consider to what extent people with university degrees participate in decisions about whether their households have a cat or dog
ignores the possibility that two things can be correlated without being causally connected
