Increasing Mary' s allowance would cause her to become spoiled and harm her chances of making new friends. Since Mary' s parents would not do anything to cause their daughter to be unable to make new friends, they will not increase Mary' s allowance. Which of the following patterns of reasoning is most similar to that in the paragraph above? ['In school districts that use standardized tests, student achievement is lower than in other districts. Ttherefore, eliminating standardized tests will increase student achievements in these districts.', 'Children who attend schools with diverse populations are more likely to participate in community service projects. Since diverse populations in schools lead to increased community service participation, then all schools should have diverse populations.', 'If the new budget does not pass this election, a new school cannot be built to alleviate the overcrowding at the existing school. Voters will not continue to tolerate overcrowding at the existing school so the new budget will pass.', 'Older children function less well at earlier hours than younger children. Ttherefore, it makes more sense to have the elementary school students start earlier than high school students because this may lead to increased productivity.']
