The women, middle-aged residents had food provided for 3 meals a day for one month, had unrestricted access to the meals and 3 daily snacks and their exercise was monitored to ensure consistency across the sample. They lost an average of 4 pounds during the month-long diet. The diet can be said to have caused the weight loss, since _____________________.

D. the foods available to the women were higher in calories than what they usually ate
E. the mandatory exercise was the main contributor to the weight loss
Question Type: Complete the Passage
Boil It Down: A group of 20 women were put on a high-protein, low-carb diet for a month. The end result of their diet and exercise plan was an average weight loss of 4 pounds.
Goal: Find the option that best explains WHY the diet was successful in helping these women lose weight.
Analysis:
This is a great example of a “complete the passage” CR question! The question is asking you to fill in the blank, which in this case is providing a logical reason WHY the high-protein, low-carb diet was successful for the women who adhered to it over the month-long experiment. Here is the information we have so far:
Premise: 20 women were put on a high-protein, low-carb diet for a month. They lost an average of 4 pounds.
Conclusion: The diet was the main reason the women successfully lost weight.
Evidence: ??
A. a diet high in protein keeps you fuller than a lower protein diet
A is correct because a diet high in protein keeps you more full than other diets, encouraging dieters to eat less and snack less frequently, resulting in a net calorie loss.
B. a diet high in carbs keeps you fuller than a lower carb diet
B is incorrect because the women were on a low carb diet, so consumption of carbs should have had minimal impact on the women’s weight loss.
C. a diet high in carbs keeps you fuller than a diet high in protein
C is incorrect because the women were on a low carb diet, so consumption of carbs should have had minimal impact on the women’s weight loss.
D. the foods available to the women were higher in calories than what they usually ate
D is incorrect because it is unclear what the women’s initial diets were.
E. the mandatory exercise was the main contributor to the weight loss
E is incorrect because there was no mandatory exercise in the study
