According to the official results of last week's national referendum, 80 percent voted in favor of the proposal. But those results must be rigged. Everyone I know voted against the proposal, which is clear evidence that most people voted against it.
Which one of the following most accurately describes a flaw in the reasoning of the argument?
(A) The argument uses evidence drawn from a sample that is unlikely to be representative of the general population.
(B) The argument presumes the truth of the conclusion that it sets out to prove.
(C) The argument rejects a claim by attacking the proponents of the claim rather than addressing the claim itself.
(D) The argument fails to make a needed distinction between how people should have voted and how they actually voted.
(E) The argument defends a claim solely on the grounds that most people believe it.

Results are rigged.
They are rigged because everyone I know voted against the proposal.

(A) The argument uses evidence drawn from a sample that is unlikely to be representative of the general population.
Correct.
(B) The argument presumes the truth of the conclusion that it sets out to prove.
Presuming the truth is not a flaw. It's the way that person came to that conclusion that is flawed.
(C) The argument rejects a claim by attacking the proponents of the claim rather than addressing the claim itself.
No one is being attacked.
(D) The argument fails to make a needed distinction between how people should have voted and how they actually voted.
Nothing is discussed on the method of voting.
(E) The argument defends a claim solely on the grounds that most people believe it.
No one is believing anything right now (accept the main person)
