Consumer Advocate: The new soft drink, Mango Paradise, contains at least 2.5% of Ephedra, a chemical supplement that stimulates the activity of the nervous system but may also result in serious cardiac problems. Therefore, this drink is harmful to consumer health and should be banned from distribution in our state.
Which of the following is an assumption made by the consumer advocate?
The new soft drink will soon be introduced into mass production.
Consumers are unlikely to enjoy the taste of Mango Paradise because of the high amount of Ephedra contained in the drink.
Any drink that contains at least 2.5% of Ephedra is harmful to consumer health.
The Consumer Advocate is not affiliated with the producer of Mango Paradise.
Most consumers who drink Mango Paradise will eventually experience serious cardiac problems.
B/w C and E, C has quite an extreme view.
I would say E. Please respond with your answers. Thanks

C. Passage mentions that ephedra may cause cardiac problems. It never mentions the concentration required for the cardiac problems to happen. Therefore, he's assuming that 2.5% is enough to cause cardiac problems.
E cannot be. It contradicts the passage because it's comparing something you do not know (it may cause) vs. something you know (it will cause).
All other answer choices are outof scope.
