To do questions like this faster, could't we already conclude the argument was flawed due to it concludes with a sufficient premise and then look for a parallel argument with that flaw?
I did that and was correct in my answer choice, But I want to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

Hi ZachWVan, thanks for the question.
I think this argument actually tries to conclude using a necessary premise as its reason. If we look at the underlying structure here,
A -> B, Since B, therefore A.
In this way, you can match the structures relatively quickly and with a high degree of confidence.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
