Each of the elements of Girelli’s recently completed design for a university library is copied from a different one of several historic libraries. The design includes various features from Classical Greek, Islamic, Mogul, and Romanesque structures. Since no one element in the design is original, it follows that the design of the library cannot be considered original.
Which one of the following is a reasoning error made in the argument?
(A) assuming that because something is true of each of the parts of a whole it is true of the whole itself
(B) generalizing illegitimately from a few instances of a certain kind to all instances of that kind
(C) concluding that an unknown instance of a phenomenon must have all the properties of the known instance
(D) presupposing that alternatives that can be true separately cannot be true together
(E) deriving a factual conclusion from evidence derived from reports of aesthetic preferences

argument
= each parts of design were copied from different parts
= no part design is original
= thus the design is not original
reasoning error

Ans: A
(A) assuming that because something is true of each of the parts of a whole it is true of the whole itself
The argument syas "The design includes various features from Classical Greek, Islamic, Mogul, and Romanesque structures".so it states that the designs are not original. So the argument clearly assumes that as there are some similarity, the whole thing will be similar. That is option A.
