If the dog is a collie, it will shed its downy undercoat only in the spring. The dog shed in the spring, so it must be a collie.
Which one of the following selections demonstrates the same reasoning presented in the passage?
(A) In the winter time in the mountains, it frequently snows. Three inches of snow fell last night, so it must be winter.
(B) When the wind sweeps down from the mountains, a cold front will follow right behind. Right now the winds are gusting up to 40 mph, so a cold front must be on its way.
(C) The crystal paperweights in Sharon’s paperweight collection are always dusted very carefully. The red paperweight is not handled carefully when dusted, so it must not be a crystal paperweight.
(D) One more hard frost would kill the tomato plants. But a week later, the tomato plants were still alive. Therefore, a hard frost must not have occurred within the last week.
(E) One must be very coordinated like Franklin to be a good drummer. However, Franklin’s inability to read music will prevent him from being a good drummer.

I’d say C follows the line of reasoning the closest of all the options
the general reasoning of this question is that in order for A (dog) to be B (a collie), C (shedding in the spring) must happen. Since C (dog shed in the spring) happened, A (dog) must be B (collie).
A) only two actions, A (winter) and B (snowing), B happened, therefore A
B) only two options, but in this case A (wind) is happening, so B (cold front) is coming
C) in order for A (red paperweight) to be B (Crystal), C must happen (careful dusting). C didn’t happen, therefore A is not B
D) A (hard frost) will cause B (tomatoes to die). However B has not happened, therefore A did not happen
E) this one could be tricky. In order for B (be a good drummer) you must be A (coordinated like Franklin). However Franklin is C (can’t read music). There’s a new, unrelated clause introduced in this case that has nothing to do with A.
Appreciate the Kudos if this helped!

I will go with C on this one.
If X then Y will happen - Y happened, it must be X
same goes with C
If Crystal paper-weight, will be always handled carefully - red was not handled carefully therefore red must not be crystal.
GMATNinja I have a doubt here-
If the statement talks in the positive tone and one of the answers satisfies the reasoning but is in the negative tone, like we have here in option C. SO shall we discard it or does it still stand a chance?
Please help.
