lining up concepts

Hello, the most challenging part about this question for me is that the stimulus uses quantifier language (sometimes) and the correct answer says it happens all the time (sufficient and necessary). I do see what the flaw is and the parallel in Mehran’s diagram but if you don’t come up with this diagram, then you might not be able to clearly see how all the terms in the stimulus and answer choices relate to one another. Any tips on not eliminating a potentially correct answer choice like C because there seems to be a “mismatch” like that between “there are circumstances” (saying something happens sometimes) in the stimulus and “it is healthful” (it always happens) in the correct answer choice? “There are many business events” and “there are many social events” in answer choice A seemed like a better match for “there are circumstances” in the stimulus.
