Of all the houses in the city’s historic district, the house that once belonged to the Tyler family is the most famous by far. Since the historic district is the most famous district in the city, the Tyler house must be the city’s most famous house.
The flawed reasoning the argument above most closely parallels the flawed one in which one of the following?
A) Of all the peaks in the costal mountain range, Mount Williams is the tallest. Since the tallest peaks in the entire region are in the costal mountain range, Mount Williams must be the region’s tallest peak.

Many people change their wills on their own every few years, in response to significant changes in their personal or financial circumstances. This practice can create a problem foe the executor when these people are careless and do not date their wills: the executor will then often know neither which one of several undated wills is the most recent, nor whether the will drawn up last has ever been found. Therefore, people should not only date their wills but also state in any new will which will it supersedes, for then there would not be a problem to begin with.
The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument
(A) treats a partial solution to the stated problem as though it were a complete solution.
(B) Fails to distinguish between prevention of a problem and successful containment of the adverse effects that the problem might cause.
(C) Proposes a solution to the stated problem that does not actually solve the problem but merely makes someone else responsible for solving the problem.
(D) Claims that a certain action would be a change for the better without explicitly considering what negative consequences the action might have.
(E) Proposes that a certain action be based on information that would be unavailable at the time proposed for that action.
答案A,我这题不理解，帮我看看。

A physician who is too through in conducting a medical checkup is likely to subject the patient to the discomfort and expense of unnecessary tests. One who is not thorough enough is likely to miss some serious problem and therefore give the patient a false sense of security. It is difficult for physicians to judge exactly how thorough they should be. Therefore, it is generally unwise for patients to have medical checkups when they do not feel ill.
1. Which one of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument in the passage?
(A) Some serious diseases in their early stages have symptoms that physicians can readily detect.
(B) Under the pressure of reduced reimbursements, physicians have been reducing the average amount of time they spend on each medical checkup.
(C) Patients not medically trained are unable to judge foe themselves what degree of thoroughness is appropriate for physicians in conducting medical checkups.
(D) Many people are financially unable to afford regular medical checkups.
(E) Some physicians sometimes exercise exactly the right degree of thoroughness in performing a medical checkup.
我看不出A是怎么削弱的，难道题目假设Some serious diseases in their early stages是感觉不出来吗？
