Most people who support gay marriage rights are liberals. Therefore, since Rafsan supports gay marriage rights, he is a liberal.

The argument above resembles which of the following?
- Most architects are feminists, therefore Zahin, who is an architect is also a feminist.
- Few major publishing firms produce comics. Since Marvels only publishes comics, it is probably not a major publishing firm.
- Most CEOs own a mansion. Mr. Rafi is a CEO. He may or may not have mansion.
- Most supercars are extremely expensive. Since, the new “Ford Fiesta” is not a supercar, it probably isn’t expensive.
- Most desert plants are cacti. Therefore, the greneria, a desert plant, may or may not be a type of cactus.

Most people who take the experimental energy drink Speed develop stomachaches. Therefore, if Shakib does not drink Speed, he will probably not develop stomachaches.

The argument above most resembles which of the following?

- owns a better football coaching school than most other trainers.
- only helps some students to get into the IBA football team.
- never fails to help an amateur footballer to get into the IBA team.
