Our tomato soup provides good nutrition: for instance, a warm bowl of it contains more units of vitamin C than does a serving of apricots or fresh carrots!

The advertisement is misleading if which one of the following is true?


(A) Few people depend exclusively on apricots and carrots to supply vitamin C to their diets.

(B) A liquid can lose vitamins if it stands in contact with the air for a protracted period of time.

(C) Tomato soup contains important nutrients other than vitamin C.

(D) The amount of vitamin C provided by a serving of the advertised soup is less than the amount furnished by a serving of fresh strawberries.

(E) Apricots and fresh carrots are widely known to be nutritious, but their contribution consists primarily in providing a large amount of vitamin A, not a large amount of vitamin C.


IMO E: the question is asking that the advertisement is misleading because: option E gives a reason that the comparison done of soup for vitamin C whereas they actually contain vitamin A.. so the advetiser is misleading its consumers... IMO E should be correct.

E. The advertisement uses a questionable comparison to make the soup look better than it is. It's not apples to apples.

The advertisement is misleading if which one of the following is true?

(A) Few people depend exclusively on apricots and carrots to supply vitamin C to their diets. - WRONG. This makes no difference as far as claim is concerned. It remains intact.

(B) A liquid can lose vitamins if it stands in contact with the air for a protracted period of time. - WRONG. This gets into a variable that is not covered by the claim. Brings in a conditionality that claim may or may not insure for.

(C) Tomato soup contains important nutrients other than vitamin C. - WRONG. Irrelevant.

(D) The amount of vitamin C provided by a serving of the advertised soup is less than the amount furnished by a serving of fresh strawberries. - WRONG. Like B this brings a variable(strawberries) not covered in the claim.

(E) Apricots and fresh carrots are widely known to be nutritious, but their contribution consists primarily in providing a large amount of vitamin A, not a large amount of vitamin C. - CORRECT. If the comparison is altogether wrong than conclusion based on that is wrong.

Answer E.
