Question #00013

During cabin selection on the first day of camp, Ming
was allowed to choose first and chose Cabin One. It
turned out that Cabin One was very poorly ventilated,
and was clearly a worse choice than Cabin Nine, which
was the next cabin chosen. Hence, had Ming known not
to choose Cabin One, she would have ended up in a
better cabin.

The argument above is most vulnerable to criticism
because it overlooks which one of the following
possibilities?

A) Cabin One may also have had an insect
infestation problem.
B) Cabin Nine may not have been the only cabin
better than Cabin One
C) Cabin Nine may not have been the best cabin at
the camp.
D) Given a different choice, Ming may have picked a
cabin worse than Cabin One.
E) The camper who chose second may have chosen
Cabin One had Ming not chosen it.
