Waller: The two field walls we relaid last spring were each stripped to the footings before we began, and a wall stripped that far will stand a century without bulging. The Ketchmoor wall was relaid in the same way as those two, in that it too was relaid last spring. So the Ketchmoor wall will stand a century without bulging.

The flawed reasoning above is most similar to that in which one of the following?

AA dyke that will stand a century was set on a bed of pins when it was built, and the Sallets dyke, which the estate has never had to touch, will stand a century. So the Sallets dyke was set on a bed of pins when it was built.

BBoth ledgers the bindery resewed last winter were taken off their old cords first, and a book sewn that way will stand a century of daily use. The Marrable ledger was treated in the same way as those two, in that it too was taken off its old cords. So the Marrable ledger will stand a century of daily use.

CBoth lots the roastery cupped highest last month had been rested a fortnight before roasting, and a bean rested that way keeps its sweetness. The Tolmers lot was handled in the same way as those two, in that it too was cupped last month. So the Tolmers lot keeps its sweetness.

DBoth shells the club refitted last year had their riggers reset first, and a shell reset that way runs true in a crosswind. The Ashen shell was worked on in the same way as those two, in that it too had its riggers reset. So the Ashen shell will win the head race.

EEvery stretch of the estate's dry-stone dykes that has been opened up was found to have a clay core, and a dyke cored that way will stand a century. Eleven stretches have been opened. So every dyke on the estate will stand a century.
