What is parallel reasoning question?
A parallel-reasoning question asks for the argument with the same structure as the original.
Match the logic, not the topic. The right answer has the same number of premises, the same conclusion shape, and the same flaw or valid move.
The trap answers match the topic or the conclusion while the structure differs. Diagram the original first, then compare skeletons.
