Blender: Every chest that reached us under the spring contract carries the estate's own stamp, and this chest carries that stamp, so it reached us under the spring contract. Every chest that reached us under that contract was opened and blended within the month of its arrival, so this chest was opened and blended within the month of its arrival.

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

AEvery board the mill sawed from the winter fell shows a tight grain, and this board shows a tight grain, so the mill sawed it from the winter fell. Every board sawed from that fell will hold its shape indoors, so this board will hold its shape indoors.

BEvery casting the foundry poured on Monday was quenched, and this casting was not poured on Monday, so it was not quenched. A casting that is not quenched is filed by hand, so this casting was filed by hand.

CEvery roll of felt we have unwound from the autumn lot has run to its full length without a join, and we have unwound nine of the forty rolls, so the whole lot runs to its full length without a join. Felt that runs to full length without a join will cover a roof in one piece, so this lot will cover a roof in one piece.

DEvery net the loft repaired this season was dipped in tar before it went back out to the boats, and this net was repaired this season, so it was dipped in tar. Most nets that are dipped in tar will last a decade, so this net will last a decade.

EEvery rope the rigger spliced in April was tested to a tonne before it was coiled down, and this rope was spliced in April, so it was tested to a tonne. A rope tested to a tonne costs twice what a plain rope costs, so this rope was worth the money.
