I would like to point out that when you "add" an option to our question at your own will, it doesn't remain our question anymore.
All we try to do here is help - you are free to disagree with the logic.
I appreciate the efforts. But I will surely get back to you on the flawed reasoning through the most accepted source
OG, as I am sure I have seen a few instances where Qs have used this reasoning to eliminate choices.
I would like to point to
another one flaw, may like to review it.

All of the athletes who will win a medal in competition have spent many hours training under an elite coach. Michael is coached by one of the world’s elite coaches; therefore it follows logically that Michael will win a medal in competition.
The argument above logically depends on which of the following assumptions?
(A) Michael has not suffered any major injuries in the past year.
(B) Michael’s competitors did not spend as much time in training as Michael did.
(C) Michael’s coach trained him for many hours.
(D) Most of the time Michael spent in training was productive.
(E) Michael performs as well in competition as he does in training.
I got stuck between C and E. I feel the argument will collapse if we negate option C.
Am I correct/wrong? Please explain?

Hi,
the logic of the main statement itself is flawed..
The Q would have been better had it asked for "flaw in the logical reasoning"....
The logic in this Q is ..
all the As will have done B..
so since C is doing B, he will be A..
all the As will have done B.. does not mean all doing B will be As..
But taking the Q as it is, answer will be C..
For becoming a medallist .. it is necessary that many hours
(requirement 1) of trg under elite coach
(requirement 2)..
we know he has coached under elite coach..
so if he has to win a medal, he has to have trained for many hours..
It would be better if you change
therefore it follows logically that Michael will win a medal in competition. to
micheal wins a medal in competition, to make the Questin logical
