Is more the same as most?
When they use the word "more" can I assume that it is "most"?
Also, can someone diagram answer choice B. I know it is not the correct answer, but I am unsure how to diagram it.

"More" does not always mean "most." Remember that more is relative. I'll give you an example. One salesman may sell more than another. I suppose you could say that, between the two of them, salesman one has the most sales. However, we cannot say that salesman one has the most sales in the company. Just be careful with how you use most. It has a very specific definition: greater than 50%.
I understand why you struggled to diagram B, because there really isn't anything there to diagram. You do not have to diagram every answer choice. This is just a tool that you can use when you feel that it will be helpful to you. Generally, I look for sufficient/necessary conditions and quantifiers to diagram. B does not contain those elements. However, I will explain what B is doing. It gives us a correlation between book lending and video lending. It then concludes that video lending caused the increase in book lending. This is a flawed argument type that you will see frequently, although not the same flaw from the stimulus. It concludes causation from a simple correlation.
