Hi, in the video she mentions that the flaw is trying to apply the transitive property across. Does this mean that it must be the same transitive property? For example if an answer choice used a most statement could that also possibly be a correct answer or must it only be a some statement because that's the quantified that is being used?

@Irene-Vera,
Happy to help. "All too many" and "few" are both phrases that are too
vague for us to classify as anything other than "some" statements, so
here's how our diagram appears for this question:
Weaklings - some - cowards
Cowards - some - fools
Therefore, weaklings - some - fools
In general, yes, the correct answer choice these types of questions
will have the same type of error that's being committed in the
stimulus. Because the stimulus only contains "some" statements, we're
looking for the answer choice that also only has "some" statements.
This is exactly what we find with (C), as it says that
Painters - some - musicians
Musicians - some - dancers
Therefore, painters - some - dancers
This is why (C) is the correct answer choice.
Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any other questions!
