Team captain: Winning requires the willingness to cooperate, which in turn requires motivation. So you will not win if you are not motivated.
Question: The pattern of reasoning in which one of the following is most similar to that in the argument above?
Options:

B. Learning requires making some mistakes. And you must learn if you are to improve. So you will not make mistakes without there being a noticeable improvement.
C. Our political party will retain its status only if it raises more money. But raising more money requires increased campaigning. So our party will not retain its status unless it increases its campaigning.
D. You can repair your own bicycle only if you are enthusiastic. And if you are enthusiastic, you will also have mechanical aptitude. So if you are not able to repair your own bicycle, you lack mechanical aptitude.
E. Getting a ticket requires waiting in line. Waiting in line requires patience. So if you do not wait in line, you lack patience.
