You can start reading The Economist magazine and then once you catch up speed, read essays on Aeon.

D points out the flaw in the argument , that the conclusion about "benefits of alcohol consumption being balanced" is based on the data pertinent to people who consumed "moderate" amounts of alcohol.
Thus the sampling is insufficient to arrive at such a generalised conclusion.

But the conclusion mentions "Thus, alcohol consumption is, on balance, beneficial."

Doesn’t "on balance" mean the same as "moderate consumption" of alcohol ??

I would suggest books instead. That allows you to be captivated and continue reading for an extended period of time. If you get a very interesting book, you will not be able to put it down… That’s more valuable than reading some convoluted articles about biology. In my estimation, you would need to read about 1000 pages to see meaningful improvement in reading and comprehension. Ideally I would recommend 2000 pages.

On balance to me means “ weighing pros and cons” rather than being moderate. It is a bit of an unusual comment to make sense the argument did not really cover any negative elements, But to me this was the meaning.

Hey everyone……. There are more restaurants in Hollistown than in Deedsville. So, residents of Hollistown are more likely to eat at a restaurant than are residents of Deedsville. Each of the following, if true, weakens the conclusion above EXCEPT:

A. The seating capacity of a typical restaurant in Deedsville is greater than that of a typical restaurant in Hollistown.
B. Restaurant customers in Hollistown are more likely to order take-away meals for home consumption than are restaurant customers in Deedsville.
C. As a result of more favorable zoning regulations, it is easier to operate a restaurant in Hollistown than in Deedsville.
D. Because most residents of Deedsville work in Hollistown, they often eat lunch and dinner at restaurants in Hollistown.
E. The population of Hollistown is greater than that of Deedsville.

What is the correct answer for this with best explanation??

IMO C - because all other options clearly weaken the argument except C.
What C says is not relevant to our conclusion that "residents of hollistown are more likely to eat restaurants than residents of Deedsville".
As for other options -
A) Weakens the assumption that more number of restaurants means more people dining. Not taking into consideration the seating capacity.

B)If restaurant owners are more likely to order take aways then they are not dining in the restaurant, hence Weakens.

D) If most residents of Deedsville often eat 2 of their meals at Hollistown then is also Weakens the assumption that "Hollistown residents are more likely to eat at a restaurant"

E )more populations means a higher denominator for the likeliness of dining - number of restaurants/number of people.
Keep in mind the conclusion is about the "likeliness of dining at a restaurant". So E also weakens
