What is the flaw in this stimulus?

Hi, can someone please explain to me what the flaw is in the stimulus? I'm having a hard time seeing where it is. Thank you!

^I second the above question. The argument in the passage appears correct to me, unless there is a confusion regarding S&N conditions.

Hi, I am not an instructor but let me try to explain what is the flaw.

The logical S&N flow is correct but the flaw lies in the first stimulus that states plentiful supply of *good things* to eat and drink, however "Sylvia has prepared more than enough to eat and drink",

more than enough to eat and drink is not the same as plentiful supply of *good things* to eat and drink.

(D) just like the stimulus does not state that Arnold's meat stock is well-seasoned.

I hope the above helps :)
