Morton: In order to succeed in today’s society one must have a college degree. Skeptics have objected that there are many people who never completed any education beyond high school but who are nevertheless quite successful. This success is only apparent, however, because without a college degree a person does not have enough education to be truly successful.
Morton’s argument is flawed because it
(A) assumes what it sets out to conclude
(B) mistakes a correlation for a cause
(C) draws a highly general conclusion from evidence about individual cases
(D) fails to consider the status of alleged counterexamples
(E) bases its conclusion on the supposition that most people believe in that conclusion
