Caving club secretary: Each of the eight passages on the Skelmer through-trip has been rigged so that a first-year member can get through it. So the through-trip as a whole is within a first-year's reach. And any trip within a first-year's reach may be led by a second-year, so Saturday's party needs no warden.

Which one of the following arguments contains flawed reasoning most similar to that in the argument above?

ACave club: Each of the seven pitches on the Rowten round can be managed by a novice, and the seven taken in one push ask no more of anybody than the hardest of them. So the round taken as a whole lies within a novice's compass, and a round like that can be led by a steward. So Sunday's team needs nobody at all.

BMuseum: Some of the ten rooms we open on Sunday can be watched by a new volunteer, and some of the ten need only one person on duty. So some of the rooms can be watched by a single new volunteer, and Sunday's opening needs no supervisor.

CPotholing club: The Grindle round as a whole has been graded fit for a novice, so each of the nine pitches on it is fit for a novice. And a pitch fit for a novice can be tackled with nobody standing by, so Sunday's team need bring no instructor with them at all.

DSailing club: Any race within a beginner's compass may be led by a club officer instead of an instructor. Wednesday's race will be led by a club officer, so it must be within a beginner's compass.

ETower captain: Each of the six bells has been rehung so that a learner can handle it. So the whole peal is within a learner's compass. And any peal within a learner's compass may be led by a steeple keeper, so Friday's club practice needs no ringing master.
