GMAT Club World Cup 2022 (DAY 4): Researcher: The calories in, calorie [#permalink] New post   23 Nov 2022, 08:45
Hello, any expert can address my confusion? Thanks in advance.
From researcher’s words, we can infer an unstated fact: now the calculation method of calories in, calories out diet and fitness paradigm are according to the law of thermodynamics. And in A, researcher said the law of thermodynamics do not adequately explain the processes by which the human body uses energy in the form of calories, so needs to be replaced.
For me, A and E are the same meaning, so why is A wrong? Hope to help.

There are examples in that last bit of dialogue, but there is no comparison to be found. The as in as a thermodynamic unit should be interpreted as an explanation: because it is a thermodynamic unit.

In the entire World Cup competition ques, I found your framed ques to be really challenging and have queries in both SC and CR ques.

As for this ques, why can't we construe that the comparison is between body at rest and body at work? In the first spoken part, the researcher talks about body at work "exercise long enough". On the contrary, in his second spoken part, the researcher talks about body at rest.

I think that since I added you to my original post instead of mentioned in a new post, you didn't receive any intimation of my query. Creating a new post for the same.

'Drawing on a comparison' would refer to 'illustrating a similitude' - Just like it happens in A, it happens in B too. You can explain a point by drawing on a comparison.
That is not happening here.

Also, there is no comparison between 'body at rest' and 'body in motion.' The researcher just points out that ALONG WITH the body in motion, body at rest loses a lot of calories too.
Also, the researcher is not supporting a counter argument (by giving examples). He is making no counter argument. He is explaining how the dietician's argument is actually supporting his own argument.

The dietician says that the laws of thermodynamics are applicable and the researcher agrees with 'that's just the point...' and then goes on to explain how the laws of thermodynamics support what he said.
Hence (E) works here.
