Question: 1 / 575

Which one of the following arguments is most similar in its pattern of reasoning to the argument above?

A. An argument discounting expert opinions

B. An argument based on personal values

C. An argument employing circular reasoning

The argument in the passage presents a circular pattern of reasoning since it relies on the statement itself to prove the conclusion, creating a loop without introducing any external evidence or support. Option C, an argument employing circular reasoning, is the most similar pattern of reasoning to the argument in the passage.

The other options can be eliminated because:

- Option A, discounting expert opinions, does not reflect the circular pattern of reasoning displayed in the passage.

- Option B, an argument based on personal values, does not demonstrate the same circular reasoning as seen in the passage.

- Option D, an argument relying on unproven assumptions, does not match the circular pattern of reasoning evident in the original argument.
