Question

Even though the school would receive financial benefits if its canteen served pizzas and burgers, we should not allow them. Allowing pizzas and burgers would not be in our students’ interest. If our students start eating more pizzas and burgers, they will be less healthy.
The argument depends on which of the following?

• A. A. The school’s primary concern should be to promote good health among its students.
• B. The amount of pizzas and burgers that most students at the school currently eat is not detrimental to their health.
• C. If the canteen stocks pizzas and burgers, students would eat more of them as a result.
• D. Students will not bring pizzas and burgers from other places if the canteen does not stock these items

Answer 1

The correct option is C If the canteen stocks pizzas and burgers, students would eat more of them as a result.

Conclusion: If our students start eating more pizzas and burgers, they will be less healthy. What can be assumed from this? If the canteen stocks pizzas and burgers, then students will eat more of them and as a result become less healthy. Option C states this and is the correct assumption.

Option A does not address the core issue of stocking pizzas and burgers in the canteen.

Option B maintains the status quo but if the canteen stocks pizzas and burgers and students eat more then they will be less healthy.

Option D does not connect with the conclusion that eating more pizzas and burgers would make students less healthy.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.
