Q16 - Each of the elements of Girelli's recently

[roflcoptersoisoi]

Premise: None of the elements in Girelli's design is original
Conclusion: Girelli's design is not original

Flaw: Faultry extrapolation.
Takes for granted that what is true for a constituent unit is true for the entire part.
Fails to consider the the fact that the amalgamation of various non-original pieces can together become original.

(A) Bingo.
(B) It doesn't extrapolate what occurs under a few of a certain kind to all instances of that kind. That would be like saying: since Girelli sometimes makes designs that are composed of non-original parts when he paints, he does that everytime he paints.
(C) Descriptively inaccurate.
(D) Descriptively inaccurate. What alternatives?
(E) There is no prescriptive language used in this stimulus, so in this case it's impossible for the conclusion to derive a conclusion from a premise that describes reports of aesthetic preferences. Descriptively inaccurate.

Nice!

Tiny tweaks, you meant to write:
Takes for granted that what is true for a constituent unit is true for the entire whole. (fixed)

Great demo of what (B) would have been.

(C) would be something very similar. Since THIS design for a library used all derivative elements, some OTHER/FUTURE design for a library Girelli does will also use only derivative elements.

(E) are you confusing "prescriptive" (should / ought) with "aesthetic" (beautiful / ugly / delicious / gross)?

The premise definitely doesn't involve aesthetic preferences or prescriptive ideas.
