有几道想不通的逻辑题请大家指教并一起探讨。 The museum’s night security guard maintains that the thieves who stole the portrait did not enter the museum at any point at or above ground level. Therefore, the thieves must have gained access to the museum from below ground level. The flawed pattern of reasoning in the argument above is most similar to that in which one of the following? (A) The rules stipulate the participants in the contest be judged on both form and accuracy. The eventual winner was judged highest in neither category, so there must be a third criterion that judges were free to invoke.

Consequently, the store’s customers must have been able to buy shirts there at less than the store’s cost. (C) If the census is to be believed, the percentage of men who are married is higher than the percentage of women who are married. Thus, the census must show a higher number of men than of women overall. (D) The product label establishes that this insecticide is safe for both humans and pet. Therefore, the insecticide must also be safe for such wild mammals as deer and rabbits.(B) (E) As had generally been expected, not all questionnaires were sent in by the official deadline. It follows that plans must have been made for the processing of questionnaires received late 我认为的答案是A, 真正的答案是B.我是我怎么也想不通B为什么和题的逻辑相似?
