Stimulus Argument: If a coral reef is to fully recover from a severe bleaching event, it must be situated in a region with stable ocean temperatures. However, no reef can maintain stable ocean temperatures unless it is shielded from the primary equatorial currents. Thus, any coral reef that fully recovers from a severe bleaching event must be shielded from the primary equatorial currents.
Candidate Argument: If a newly published novel is to win the prestigious Sterling Prize, it must have sold over a million copies. Furthermore, a novel can sell over a million copies only if it has been adapted into a major motion picture. Therefore, any novel that has been adapted into a major motion picture will win the prestigious Sterling Prize.
Statement: The pattern of reasoning in the candidate argument is logically parallel to the pattern of reasoning in the stimulus argument.
