Most people who exercise daily report higher energy levels. Since Julian is often tired, he must not be exercising daily, and therefore he will never achieve high energy levels.
Which one of the following most accurately identifies two flaws in the argument?
- It treats daily exercise as required for high energy when the evidence makes it at most one route to it, and it converts a claim about most people into a certainty about one individual.
- It mistakes a correlation for proof of cause, and it presents a false dilemma.
- It transfers a property of the group to an individual member, and it relies on a slanted sample.
- It uses an ambiguous term throughout, and it attacks Julian's character to dismiss his view.
- It assumes Julian's tiredness has a single explanation, and it ignores that energy levels can fluctuate over time.
