Ramicor is a newly developed drug to lower cardiac inflammation. Clinical trials have proven it to be more effective than all drugs available in the market today in its category. Therefore, when it is launched commercially next year, Ramicor is going to quickly achieve the highest market share in the category of drugs that lower cardiac inflammation.

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

AThe business that Hailey is planning to start soon will fail within its first year because her scores for both verbal and quantitative ability in aptitude test X that she took when she was in high school were in the lowest 10 percent of all scores in her age-group.

BBusinesses started by people whose scores for both verbal and quantitative ability in aptitude test X are in the highest 10 percent of all scores in their age-group tend to be successful. When Hailey was in high school, her scores for both verbal and quantitative ability in this test were in the lowest 10 percent of all scores in her age-group. Therefore, the business that she is planning to start soon will fail within its first year.

CMost business owners whose business fails within the first-year score in the lowest 10 percent of all scores in their age-group for both verbal and quantitative ability in aptitude test X. When Hailey was in high school, her scores for both verbal and quantitative ability in this test were in the lowest 10 percent of all scores in her age-group. Therefore, the business that she is planning to start soon will fail within its first year.

DHailey is planning to start a new business soon. When she was in high school, she took aptitude test X and scored in the lowest 10 percent of all scores in her age-group for both verbal and quantitative ability. The skills that are necessary to score well in both verbal and quantitative ability in this test are inborn and unalterable and are the same skills that are necessary to run a successful business. Therefore, when Hailey starts her business, it will fail within its first year.

EWhen she was in high school, her scores for both verbal and quantitative ability in aptitude test X were in the lowest 10 percent of all scores in her age-group. When people whose scores for both verbal and quantitative ability in aptitude test X are in the lowest 10 percent of all scores in her age-group start a business, those businesses tend to fail within the first year. Therefore, if Hailey starts a business, it is likely to fail within its first year.
