Sixty adults were asked to keep a diary of their meals, including what they consumed, when, and in the company of how many people. It was found that at meals with which they drank alcoholic beverages, they consumed about 175 calories more from nonalcoholic source than they did at meals with which they did not drink alcoholic beverages.
Each of the following, if true, contributes to an explanation of the difference in caloric intake EXCEPT:
(A) Diners spent a much longer time at meals served with alcohol than they did at those serve without alcohol.
(B) The meals eaten later in the day tended to be larger than those eaten earlier in the day, and later meals were more likely to include alcohol.
(C) People eat more when there are more people present at the meal, and more people tended to be present at meal served with alcohol than at meals served without alcohol.
(D) The meals that were most carefully prepared and most attractively served tended to be those at which alcoholic beverages were consumed.
(E) At meals that included alcohol, relatively more of the total calories consumed came from carbohydrates and relatively fewer of them came from fats and proteins.
Answer – E
60 adult make diary for gathering data on their alcohol and calories consumption habits
Outcome-
Calories from Non-Alcoholic source (in Meals with Alcohol)
= Approx 175 calories more than (calories from Non-Alcoholic source in meals (No-Alcohol))
Best choice that does not explains some role/ relationship of alcohol in the meal for increasing the calories
Process of Elimination-
A) Long Relationship stated, Meals with alcohol - extra time eating, and so tend to consume more calories.
B) Relationship stated between larger meals (higher calorie intake) later in the day and alcohol
C) States a relationship between alcohol and calorie intake at Gathering of more ppl.. people eat more when there are a lot of them eating together,
D) States a relationship between alcohol and claries intake for the meals - most carefully prepared and most attractively served
E) No relationship between alcohol and claries intake. Bit ambiguous as the calorie in a food item would be the same whether or not consumed with alcohol. Also does present a difference between the two types of meals
