Explanation: Premise: Samuel caught fewer fish than any of his teammates during the past season. Conclusion: Samuel is a bad fisherman. প্রশ্নে বলা হয়েছে যেহেতু Samuel তার সঙ্গীদের থেকে কম মাছ ধরেছে তাই সে খারাপ। D তে বলা হয়েছে যে Samuel একটি পরীক্ষামূলক টোপ ব্যাবহার করেছে। এইটা বুঝায় যে Samuel এর কম মাছ ধরার কারণ হতে পারে পরীক্ষামূলক টোপ ব্যাবহার করা এবং তাকে খারাপ fisherman বলা যাবে না। অতএব Option D সবচেয়ে ভালোভাবে প্রশ্নের যুক্তিকে দুর্বল করে।
