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?
A)The new soft drink will soon be introduced into mass production.
b)Consumers are unlikely to enjoy the taste of Mango Paradise because of the high amount of Ephedra contained in the drink.
c)Any drink that contains at least 2.5% of Ephedra is harmful to consumer health.
d)The Consumer Advocate is not affiliated with the producer of Mango Paradise.
e)Most consumers who drink Mango Paradise will eventually experience serious cardiac problems.
Dear
egmat,
Can you please explain how to apply
egmat negation technique here.
c)Any drink that contains at least 2.5% of Ephedra is harmful to consumer health.
All(100) drinks that contains at least 2.5% of Ephedra is harmful to consumer health.
Negation statement- Not all(0-99) drinks that contains at least 2.5% of Ephedra is harmful to consumer health.
if we consider '0 drinks that contains at least 2.5% of Ephedra is harmful to consumer health'.- conclusion falls
99 drinks that contains at least 2.5% of Ephedra is harmful to consumer health - supports conclusion
for Option E Most consumers who drink Mango Paradise will eventually experience serious cardiac problems
(51-100)consumers who drink Mango Paradise will eventually experience serious cardiac problems
negation statement - (0-50)consumers who drink Mango Paradise will eventually experience serious cardiac problems
0 consumers who drink Mango Paradise will eventually experience serious cardiac problems (conclusion falls)
50 consumers who drink Mango Paradise will eventually experience serious cardiac problems (this also supports conclusion but not as much as choice 'C')
I felt very difficult on chosing C/E
Please advise
