- DEvery consignment cleared by the quality team carries a green seal. The consignment in the loading bay carries no green seal, so it has not been cleared by the quality team.
Step-by-Step Solution
The original runs: every A has feature B; this item lacks B; so it is not an A. The consignment argument has exactly that shape and is valid for the same reason. The first option runs backwards from the feature to the class, the second slides from 'most' to 'all', and the third moves forward from the class to the feature - a valid step, but not the one the original makes.
Answer: D) Every consignment cleared by the quality team carries a green seal. The consignment in the loading bay carries no green seal, so it has not been cleared by the quality team.
