Keeler wanted the institute to receive bad publicity. He and Greene were the only ones in a position to tell the press about the institute's potentially embarrassing affiliations, but Greene had no reason to do so. Therefore, it must have been Keeler who notified the press.

Which one of the following arguments is most closely parallel in its reasoning to the argument above?
The only people who had any reason to write the anonymous letter were Johnson and Ringwold. Johnson and Ringwold both deny doing so. Ringwold, however, admits that she has written anonymous letters in the past. Thus, it must have been Ringwold who wrote the letter.
Carter and Whitequill were the only ones who had any motive to bribe the public official. But Whitequill would have been too fearful that the bribery might somehow be made public. Carter, therefore, must be the person who bribed the public official.
Other than Helms and Lapinski, no one had access to the equipment on Thursday, the day it was tampered with. Thus, since Helms had reason to tamper with the equipment and Lapinski did not, it must have been Helms who did it.
When the bridge was designed, Fleming and Solano were the only ones capable of creating such a design. Fleming, however, had a strong reason to take credit for the design if it were his. Thus, since no one took credit for the design, it must have been the work of Solano.
Cutter and Rengo are the only serious candidates for designing the new monument. Rengo has designed several beautiful monuments and has connections to the selection committee. Therefore, it will probably be Rengo who is awarded the job of designing the monument.
