Many New Yorkers falsely believe that extreme temperatures in winter will be followed by extreme temperatures in the following summer. The three New York winters with the lowest average temperature were followed by summers in which the average temperature was extremely high, yet the two hottest New York winters were also followed by summers whose average temperatures were extremely high.
Which of the following describes the greatest flaw in the author's reasoning?
A. New York winters and summers are not necessarily representative of winters and summers in other locations.
B. The author appeals to a previous argument that contains circular reasoning.
C. The evidence presented is insufficient to decide the matter with full certainty.
D. A causal relationship is being assumed without being proven.
E. The evidence presented supports the claim it is intended to refute.

The first line of the stimulus states the conclusion: Author is saying extreme temperature in winter does NOT mean extreme temperature in summer.
Then he presents evidence that says:
Very cold winter = very hot summer (extreme = extreme)
Very hot winter = very hot summer (extreme = extreme)
This contradicts what he is saying. Now let's looking at the answer choices with this in mind:
On a side note: Perhaps you can add the kudos line to your signature so you don't have to post it in every note.

The signature strategy had zero success and the inline comment had moderate. NEvertheless I still do not get KUDOS 
. I don't manually write each time anyways.
