Critical Reasoning

24.Although all contemporary advertising tries to persuade, only a small portion of contemporary advertising can be considered morally reprehensible. It nevertheless follows that some attempts at persuasion can be regarded as morally reprehensible.
Which one of the following, in its logical features, most closely parallels the reasoning used in passage?

(A) None of the chemicals used for cleaning the Sistine Chapel will affect the original dyes. Hence, the colors used by Michelangelo will be fully restored.
(B) Not all operational tracking studies are conducted to illustrate exact corporate returns on investment. Hence, some of these studies are not reliable.
(C) A good manager always makes important decisions on the basis of adequate data, although of course some managers fail to do this. It follows that some managers are not good managers.
(D) There is a direct correlation between the number of times you repeat something and the degree to which you retain it. Therefore, repetition is always a critical factor in remembering.
(E) Some short poems are thematically pluralistic, since some sonnets are characterized by such pluralism, and all sonnets are short poems.


Can anyone pls give me d strategy for parallel reasonings..

thanks in advance

Is the answer C? If it is, let me know and I will explain the strategy.

Sorry. I think the answer is E. If that is the case, please let me know and I will provide you with the strategy.

assume following things -
persuade - X.
morally reprehensible - Y.

then the argument will look like this -
all contemporary advertising tries to X. small portion of contemporary advertising are Y. hence some advertising doing X can be considered as Y.

Option E, if read in the reverse order, resembles the above logic.


Thanks!

AFAIK, Parallel reasoning Q's are NOT tested on the GMAT.

Can some one confirm or deny this?

Thanks

I'd say C but I'm afraid more because of my intuition than any logic.
