Professor: A person who can select a beverage from among 50 varieties of cola is less free than one who has only 5 choice: Wine, coffee, apple juice, milk, and water. It is clear, then, that meaningful freedom cannot be measured simply by the number of alternatives available; the extent of the differences among alternatives is also a relevant factor.

The professor's argument proceeds by

A. supporting a general  principle by means of an example. (OA)
C. supporting its conclusion by means of an analogy.
=============
I swung between A and C a few times, picked C. The example of this question isn't analogy. What is analogy?

I suppose that in the LSAT the analogy is not permitted to share an identical object, which is cola in this stimulus. (I remember there is an another similar LR which referring to the nature of artificial fodder and grass compost something)

Analogy is reasoning or explaining from parallel cases.

Ex:
"Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo."
(Don Marquis)

It will shock you how much it never happened.
