According to recent research, a blindfolded person whose nostrils have been pinched so that smelling is impossible will have great difficulty in differentiating a bite of an apple from a bite of a raw potato. This clearly demonstrates that taste buds are not the only sense organs involved in determining the taste of a piece of food.
Which of the following premises, is an assumption required by the argument?
a. All people agree that an apple and a potato differ in taste.
b. There are no other senses involved in tasting other than taste, smell, and sight.
c. The word "taste" can be used to describe an experience that involves sight or smell or both.
d. The research was based on experiments that were conducted on a broad spectrum of the general population.
e. People who have been blindfolded and whose nostrils are pinched can differentiate a bite of an apple from a bite of an onion more easily than they can differentiate a bite of an apple from a bite of a raw potato.
