isn't it strange that "Some" CANNOT refer to only 2 posts.
The issue is that some should not refer to a SPECIFIED number, whether that number is one, two, three, or more.
The following sentences seem illogical:
Some of the tallest students are John.
Some of the tallest students are John and Mary.
Some of the tallest students are John, Mary and Abdul.
In each of the blue portions, the number of students is KNOWN.
Since some should properly refer to an UNSPECIFIED number, its usage in these sentences seems unwarranted.
It makes more sense to replace some with the actual number under discussion, as follows:
ONE of the tallest students is John.
TWO of the tallest students are John and Mary.
THREE of the tallest students are John, Mary and Abdul.

However in the world of Critical Reasoning and Logic -- "Some" CAN refer to 2.
In fact "Some" can refer to "1" in the world of CR and Logic.

The rules for CR and SC are not the same.
CR18 in the OG12:
The flowers have traditionally been pollinated by hand, which has kept palm fruit productivity unnaturally low.
While this sentence is perfectly acceptable in CR, it lacks a clear referent for which and thus would constitute an incorrect answer choice in SC.

A. that included
that could refer to posts or term. The main problem is that the relative is preceded by a comma. Normally you shouldn't use a comma before that.
B. which includes
which refers to term, notice that the verb is in third person singular, which is not correct.
C. including
I don't know whether this "clearly" refers to posts but is the only option left. If someone can clarify why including is not ambiguous please do so.
D. some of which were
some of which ... modifies the previous noun. In this case term. This is not correct.
E. among them being
I think the use of being here is incorrect. Also among them has no clear reference.
