Hello. I am a bit confused with this one and think I have the correct thinking pattern after reviewing the previous responses in this thread. I am going to explain how I think about the correct answer choice in my head and please let me know if this way of thinking is correct.

Because the salesperson jumps from 'uncarpeted' to 'wood and tile' they assume that the only flooring that uncarpeted is wood and tile. the answer choice also included carpet, which confused me. But, I believe what the author is saying that if the floor is not uncarpeted, then it has to be carpeted? thus, the only flooring options is wood, tile, and carpet? Is this correct? :-D

Looks to me like you got it, csafe! Well done!

Salesperson: If it's not carpeted, this will work, because it's good for wood and tile

Strengthen: There's nothing other than those options.

I am a bit confused as to why A is correct. I get that it closes a logical gap however, I don't feel like the argument even goes that far. It's not like the conclusion is saying "a handheld vacuum cleans nearly all surfaces", it just says that it is good for wood and tile . So what if there are only three types of floors?
