The questionable reasoning in the argument above most closely parallels that in which one of the following?
To be classified as a hurricane, a tropical storm in the Atlantic Ocean must have sustained wind speeds of over 74 miles (119 kilometers) per hour. So tropical storms with sustained wind speeds at about that level are not hurricanes.
Everyone who ate the tuna salad prepared in the cafeteria has contracted botulism. So those who ate other dishes prepared in the cafeteria will probably also get this disease.
Laboratory rats given an extremely low-calorie diet live up to 20 percent longer than do those given a more ordinary diet. So most people could extend their life spans by eating a great deal less than they usually do.
People who train diligently to play poker can achieve a certain level of proficiency, so those players owe their success to hard work alone.
Automobile engines that undergo regular oil changes are more likely to be problem free than are those that do not. So automobiles with engine problems probably have not had regular oil changes.
