In paralleled arguments like this, do the arguments need to be identical. In saying this, I mean do they need to match up perfectly as they did in the correct answer choice? Or would an argument that says, "It is clear that some people in Highland drive sedans, since some people commute to work drive sedans and some people in Highland commute" be parallel to the original argument.
If I didn't explain this well enough just let me know.
Well, to say that the answer must be identical probably overstates the requirement for substantial similarity (there's lots of room for dissimilar semantic content, for example).
However, the right answer does need to use the same logical structure.
This means, for example, that the example you've given here would not pass muster as a correct choice; the different quantifiers provide a material difference in reasoning.
