All students have submitted applications for admission. Some of the applications for admission have not been acted upon. Therefore, some more students will be accepted. The logic of which of the following is most similar to that of the argument above?
(A) Some of the barrels have not yet been loaded on the truck, but all of the apples have been put into barrels. So, some more apples will be loaded onto the truck.
(B) All students who received passing marks were juniors. Therefore, X is a junior.
(C) Some chemicals will react with glass bottles, but not with plastic bottles. Therefore, those chemicals should be kept in plastic bottles and not glass ones.
(D) All advertising must be approved by the Council before it is aired. This television spot for a new cola has not yet been approved by the Council. Therefore, it is not to be aired until the Council makes its decision.
(E) There are six blue marbles and three red marbles in this jar. Therefore, if I blindly pick out seven marbles, there should be two red marbles left to pick.

All students have submitted applications for admission. Some of the applications for admission have not been acted upon. Therefore, some more students will be accepted.
Let's say total applications to be received were 100
However, the students who sent applications were 80
The applications which were not acted upon were total - form filled= 100-80=20
Therefore, 20 students more can send their application.
Some of the barrels have not yet been loaded on the truck, but all of the apples have been put into barrels. So, some more apples will be loaded onto the truck.
Total apples available=100
Total No. of cartons=10
capacity of each carton=20
no. of cartons filled = 100/20=5
meaning 5 cartons are empty. That means more apples can be filled in those cartons.
Therefore Option A

(A) Some of the barrels have not yet been loaded on the truck, but all of the apples have been put into barrels. So, some more apples will be loaded onto the truck.
Considering
Barrels = Admission
Student Applications = Apples
Loading in the truck = Acceptance
Since some of the barrels are waiting to be loaded (since some more applications are to be acted upon), some more barrels (with apples) would be loaded onto the truck (some more students would be accepted)
Matches the logic
(B) All students who received passing marks were juniors. Therefore, X is a junior.
No evidence of a situation that suggests some part is left and some part is completed
(C) Some chemicals will react with glass bottles, but not with plastic bottles. Therefore, those chemicals should be kept in plastic bottles and not glass ones.
No evidence of a situation that suggests some part is left and some part is completed
(D) All advertising must be approved by the Council before it is aired. This television spot for a new cola has not yet been approved by the Council. Therefore, it is not to be aired until the Council makes its decision.
--> The new cola ad may not even air hence not a valid comparison
(E) There are six blue marbles and three red marbles in this jar. Therefore, if I blindly pick out seven marbles, there should be two red marbles left to pick.
--> One of the many probabilities suggested. This might have worked if all the students left were to be accepted and that is not the case.
