Consultant: The mayor shouldn't adopt her rival's controversial proposal for solving the city's budget problem. If she adopts the proposal and it succeeds, she risks increasing her rival's credibility. If it fails, she will get blamed for wasting time on such an unconventional idea.

Which one of the following arguments is most closely parallel in its reasoning to the argument above?
Zvi should continue practicing his instrument over the vacation. If he stops, he risks losing ground on what he has already mastered. And if he loses any ground, he will not be prepared in time for the recital.
Joni should not self-publish her novel. It is unlikely that most readers will take a self-published novel seriously, and any success she does have will cause her to be ostracized by the big publishing houses.
Despite his current financial predicament, Brett should not sell his comic book collection. It will certainly continue to grow in monetary value. Additionally, its sentimental value is too easily underestimated.
Alvin should not submit his paper for presentation at the conference. He might not have time to meet his publisher's deadline if the paper is accepted, and if the paper is rejected, he will lose confidence in it altogether.
Elisa should call the tourist agency now to reserve a spot on the tour. If she waits much longer, she risks not being able to go on the tour. And if she calls right away, she will likely still be able to negotiate the price.
