Our tomato soup provides good nutrition: for instance, a warm bowl of it contains more units of vitamin C than does a serving of apricots or fresh carrots!

The advertisement is misleading if which one of the following is true?


(A) Few people depend exclusively on apricots and carrots to supply vitamin C to their diets.

(B) A liquid can lose vitamins if it stands in contact with the air for a protracted period of time.

(C) Tomato soup contains important nutrients other than vitamin C.

(D) The amount of vitamin C provided by a serving of the advertised soup is less than the amount furnished by a serving of fresh strawberries.

(E) Apricots and fresh carrots are widely known to be nutritious, but their contribution consists primarily in providing a large amount of vitamin A, not a large amount of vitamin C.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



(A) No. This is irrelevant.

(B) No. This is irrelevant so long as the time required for the soup to lose the vitamins is longer than the time required for a typical person to consume the soup.

(C) No. The advertisement says nothing about other nutrients the soup might or might not contain.

(D) No. The advertisement does not compare soup and strawberries.

(E) Yes. If apricots and fresh carrots are known to be nutritious, then the advertisement might lead consumers to believe that tomato soup is even more nutritious. In fact, the relevant vitamins are different, so it is misleading to compare the soup with apricots and carrots.

IMHO B - argument is based on the premise that vitamin c provides good nutrition.
What option B says is that eventhough tomato soup might contain more vitamin C but it might loose it when it comes in contact with air.

IMO E: the question is asking that the advertisement is misleading because: option E gives a reason that the comparison done of soup for vitamin C whereas they actually contain vitamin A.. so the advetiser is misleading its consumers... IMO E should be correct.

E. The advertisement uses a questionable comparison to make the soup look better than it is. It's not apples to apples.
