B)seemingly different objects can have surprisingly similar characteristics

In this exercise we have to analyze the alternatives on thesis argumentation, so the correct alternatives correspond to:
1) Option B
2) Option E
3) Option C
4) Option C
So the correct alternatives to thesis argumentation can be found in:
1) The Endangered Species Act because it doesn't relate to environmental pollution as much as the other choices do.
2) In The Great Gatsby, Gatsby creates an idealized image of himself, then comes to believe he is the idealized Gatsby he has conceived.
3) In its recent decisions on educational issues, the Supreme Court has been split 5-4 on six occasions.
4) The baby is offered a horehound drop, and I am slipped a dollar bill to "buy a treat." Questions trail off, answers are abandoned, the baby plays with dust motes in a shaft of afternoon sun. I go to visit my great-aunts. A few of them think now that I am my cousin, or their daughter who died young. We recall an anecdote about a relative last seen in 1948, and they ask if I still like living in New York City. I have lived in Los Angeles for three years, but I say that I do.
