The fire that destroyed the Municipal Building started before dawn this morning, and the last fire fighters did not leave until late this afternoon. No one could have been anywhere in the vicinity of a fire like that one and fail to notice it. Thomas must have seen it, whatever he now says to the contrary. He admits that, as usual, he went from his apartment to the library this morning, and there is no way for him to get from his apartment to the library without going past the Municipal Building.
The argument employs which one of the following reasoning techniques?
(A) presenting several different pieces of evidence each of which by itself would allow the conclusion to be properly drawn
(B) establishing that one thing occurred by showing that another thing occurred and that this second thing was enough to ensure the occurrence of the first thing
(C) justifying a claim that a view held by someone else is false by explaining why that view, despite its falsity, is a tempting one for that person to hold under the circumstances
(D) relying on evidence that a certain kind of event has regularly occurred in the past as a basis for concluding that an event of that kind occurred in the present case
(E) drawing a general conclusion about what is possible in a certain kind of situation on the basis of firsthand experience with one such situation

He admits that, as usual, he went from his apartment to the library this morning, and there is no way for him to get from his apartment to the library without going past the Municipal Building.
The argument employs which one of the following reasoning techniques?
(A) presenting several different pieces of evidence each of which by itself would allow the conclusion to be properly drawn
The first piece of evidence would be: "The fire that destroyed the Municipal Building started before dawn this morning, and the last fire fighters did not leave until late this afternoon." Well this certainly not enough by itself to draw the conclusion that Thomas must have seen it.
(B) establishing that one thing occurred by showing that another thing occurred and that this second thing was enough to ensure the occurrence of the first thing
The first thing: The Municipal Building was destroyed by a fire and it started before dawn. Second: Because he went past the Municipal Building at some time today he must have seen it. So B is it
(C) justifying a claim that a view held by someone else is false by explaining why that view, despite its falsity, is a tempting one for that person to hold under the circumstances
There is no explanation why it would be tempting for Thomas to hold on to a false view
(D) relying on evidence that a certain kind of event has regularly occurred in the past as a basis for concluding that an event of that kind occurred in the present case
Well can assume that the Municipal Building doesn't burn down on a regular basis being watched by Thomas
(E) drawing a general conclusion about what is possible in a certain kind of situation on the basis of firsthand experience with one such situation
There is no general conclusion. We only talk about Thomas.

@GMATNinja @MartyTargetTestPrep Could you please help me understand what do "one thing" and "another thing" in option B refer to in the passage? Although I answered it correctly, I just wanted to confirm whether my understanding was correct. Thanks!
