Weaver: Our No. 4 sail-cloth has a two-ply warp, which holds its shape under a wet wind better than a single ply does, and it costs a third more for that reason. The lofts that have gone over to single ply report more blown-out sails in a season than we do. So our cloth counts for something in our sails' outlasting theirs.

Which one of the following most accurately describes a flaw in the weaver's reasoning?

AIt settles the question by ruling out, one at a time, the other things that blow a sail out of shape in a season, and takes the warp to be what is left.

BIt treats two-ply against single ply as the whole of what makes one loft's sails outlast another's, when lofts differ as well in cutting, in sewing and in the waters they work in.

CIt moves from two-ply cloth's holding its shape better under a wet wind to its holding better in whatever weather a sail meets.

DIt offers nothing to show the third more the No. 4 costs is repaid by the extra seasons the weaver claims it buys.

EIt takes the number of blown-out sails two sets of lofts report to fix how their sails compare, when nothing said fixes how many sails either set has at sea or how either counts a sail as blown out.
