Every employee who wins the Service Award receives a bonus. Sarah received a bonus this month. The speaker concludes that Sarah must therefore have won the Service Award.
Which one of the following identifies the logical error in the speaker's argument?
- It improperly generalizes about the shared experience of all of the company's employees from the single case of one individual
- It treats a condition that is merely sufficient for receiving a bonus as though it were necessary for receiving one.
- It assumes, with no real basis, that Sarah's strong job performance was the principal reason that she received the bonus
- It overlooks the genuine possibility that Sarah had in fact won the Service Award during some altogether earlier month
- It relies throughout on a definition of the term 'bonus' that quietly shifts in meaning over the course of the argument
