CR- Parallel reasoning + FLAWED reasoning

by vishalc581 Mon Nov 23, 2015 2:47 am

People who are good at playing the game Drackedary
are invariably skilled with their hands. Mary is a very
competent watchmaker. Therefore, Mary would make
a good Drackedary player.

The flawed pattern of reasoning in the argument
above is most similar to that in which one of the
following?

(A) People with long legs make good runners.
Everyone in Daryl’s family has long legs.
Therefore, Daryl would make a good runner.

(B) People who write for a living invariably enjoy
reading. Julie has been a published novelist
for many years. Therefore, Julie enjoys
reading.

(C) All race car drivers have good reflexes. Chris is
a champion table tennis player. Therefore,
Chris would make a good race car driver.

(D) The role of Santa Claus in a shopping mall is
often played by an experienced actor. Erwin
has played Santa Claus in shopping malls for
years. Therefore, Erwin must be an
experienced actor.

(E) Any good skier can learn to ice-skate
eventually. Erica is a world-class skier.
Therefore, Erica could learn to ice-skate in a
day or two


OA: A

Source: Powerscore

I choose D. This one is really very very tough for me.


Can you please help me?

Also, can we get a combination of 2 types in GMAT like this one contains parallel reasoning and flaw in reasoning
Thanks & Regards,
