Artist: Almost everyone in this country really wants to be an artist even though they may have to work other jobs to pay the rent. After all, just about everyone I know hopes to someday be able to make a living as a painter, musician, or poet even if they currently work as dishwashers or discount store clerks.
The reasoning in the artist’s argument is flawed in that the argument
(A) contains a premise that presupposes the truth of the conclusion
(B) presumes that what is true of each person in a country is also true of the country’s population as a whole
(C) defends a view solely on the grounds that the view is widely held
(D) bases its conclusion on a sample that is unlikely to accurately represent people in the country as a whole
(E) fails to make a needed distinction between wanting to be an artist and making a living as an artist

Type- flaw
Core- Almost everyone in this country really wants to be an artist even though they may have to work other jobs to pay the rent.
Pre-thinking- the artists makes a conclusion about want everyone in this country wants based on the response on the people he knows
(A) contains a premise that presupposes the truth of the conclusion- incorrect, the premise does not presuppose the truth of the conclusion
(B) presumes that what is true of each person in a country is also true of the country’s population as a whole- incorrect, this is a different flaw
(C) defends a view solely on the grounds that the view is widely held- incorrect, no widely held view is discussed
(D) bases its conclusion on a sample that is unlikely to accurately represent people in the country as a whole- Correct, the sample of people the artists knows is unlikely to a representative sample of the entire population of the country in which the artist lives
(E) fails to make a needed distinction between wanting to be an artist and making a living as an artist- incorrect
