Which contains an error in logic as worded?

A. Wearing bell-bottom pants and a tie-dyed shirt was a fad during the 1960s.
B. A fad during the 1960s was wearing bell-bottom pants and a tie-dyed shirt.
C. A fad during the 1960s was someone wearing bell-bottom pants and a tie-dyed shirt.
D. Bell-bottom pants and tie-dyed shirts were fads during the 1960s.

The answer is a fad during the 1960s was someone wearing bell-bottom pants and a tie-dyed shirt. It's an error in logic because they are saying everyone who wears that is a fad when it is not true.

Option C contains a logical error by implying that a single person wearing specific clothing is synonymous with a fad. A fad refers to trends adopted collectively rather than individual instances. Thus, C inaccurately describes the nature of a fad compared to the other options.
