Some judges are members of the bar. No member of the bar is a convicted felon. Therefore, some judges are not convicted felons. (Relation between 3 elements. Some x are y, no y is z so some x is definitely not a part of z)

Which of the following is logically most similar to the argument developed above?

(A) anyone who jogs in the heat will be sick. I do not jog in the heat and will therefore likely never be sick (Relation between 2 elements doesn't follow; Some x are y, no y is z so some x is definitely not a part of z) (insufficient)

(B) people who want to avoid jury duty will not register to vote. A person may not vote until age 18. Therefore, persons under 18 are not called for jury duty (relation between 4 elements) (insufficient)

(C) all businesses file a tax return, but many businesses do not make enough money to pay taxes. Therefore, some businesses do not make a profit (no relation between elements at all) (insufficient)

(D) all non-students were excluded from the meeting, but some non-students were interested in the issues discussed. Therefore, some non-students interested in the issues are not allowed in the meeting (correctly align the relation stated in the question, Some x are y, no y is z so some x is definitely not a part of z) (sufficient)

(E) the Grand Canyon is large. The Grand Canyon is in Arizona. Therefore, Arizona is large. (Don't follow; Some x are y, no y is z so some x is definitely not a part of z) (insufficient)
