@LizD What we're looking for is this pattern:
Xs are on average bigger/better/etc. than Ys
Z is the biggest/best/etc.
Z is an X

This is a flawed argument since the generality does not necessarily apply to individuals.

B mixes this up a bit by saying
Xs are bigger/better/etc. than Ys

See how that's reversed?

C, on the other hand, goes with:
Xs are bigger/better/etc than Ys
Z is big/better/etc
Z is an X

See how that's the same?
