Music critic: Some people argue that, unlike certain works of Handel, which set to music familiar religious texts, the organ symphonies of Louis Vierne are not religious music. Quite the contrary. Sitting in Notre Dame cathedral in Paris and hearing his organ symphonies demonstrates that Vierne’s works are divinely inspired.

A
takes for granted that all religious music is inspiring
The music critic doesn’t discuss whether religious music is inspiring. The music critic only argues that Vierne’s works are religious.
B
confuses two different meanings of the term “religious”
The music critic equivocates between “divinely inspired” and “religious.” The meaning that the critic is assigning to the word “religious” doesn’t necessarily align with the meaning of “religious” used by people who say Vierne’s music isn’t religious.
C
overlooks the possibility that some organ music is not divinely inspired
The music critic never claims that all organ music is divinely inspired. The critic only states that Vierne’s music is divinely inspired.
D
confuses two different meanings of the term “symphonies”
The music critic’s use of the word “symphonies” is consistent throughout the argument. The critic uses the word “symphonies” in the same way both times.
E
takes for granted that all organ symphonies are religious music
The music critic never claims that all organ music is religious. The critic only states that Vierne’s music is religious.
