Therefore, the more training one has in statistics, the better one will be at research in experimental psychology. Stem:Which one of the following arguments exhibits a flawed pattern of reasoning most similar to that exhibited by the argument above? Correct Answer Choice:AChoice A:Most people need the love and support of others; without it, they become depressed and unhappy.  Therefore, in most instances, the more love and support a person receives, the happier that person will be.

Choice C:The main cause of heart attacks is arteriosclerosis, the buildup of plaque on the interior wall of the coronary arteries.  It develops over an extended period of time.  Therefore, if one is at risk for arteriosclerosis, one becomes more likely to suffer a heart attack as one gets older. Choice D:Since many disease processes are biochemical in nature, unless one understands chemistry one will not be able to understand the explanations for many diseases.  Therefore, if one has no training in chemistry, one will not be able to master medicine. Choice E:Since most disease processes are biochemical in nature, an understanding of chemistry will enable one to understand most diseases.  Therefore, one needs little more than training in chemistry to be able to master medicine.
