Sign-writer: The Egyptian face took a larger share of the fascias we gilded last year than any other face did, and we gilded half again as many fascias last year as we gilded the year before. So we gilded more fascias in the Egyptian face last year than we gilded the year before.

The questionable reasoning above is most closely paralleled by which one of the following?

AStone flags took a larger share of the paving the yard laid last year than any other material did, and the yard laid half again as many yards last year as the year before. So the yard laid more flags last year than the year before.

BThe gallery sold more prints than drawings last month, and it sold half again as many works of every kind last month as it sold the month before. So prints took a larger share of the gallery's sales last month than they took the month before.

CThe Tuscan alphabet took a larger share of the boards we lettered last year than the Roman alphabet took, and we lettered half again as many boards last year as we lettered the year before. So most of the boards we lettered last year were in the Tuscan alphabet.

DTenor bells took a larger share of the orders the foundry booked last year than any other size of bell did, and the foundry booked half again as many orders last year as it booked the year before. So the foundry earned more from tenor bells last year than from any other size.

EThe imitation leaf took a smaller share of the boards we lettered last year than it took of the boards we lettered the year before, and we lettered half again as many boards last year as we lettered the year before. So we used the imitation leaf on fewer boards last year than the year before.
