ple se see the cr attached and give us an explanation


Conclusion: The limitation of 4 days imposed for sale of milk is unreasonable.

Assumption made here: COnsumers will use the milk for more than the stated time (ie 4days)

If consumers dont keep the milk for more than 3 days , the limitation imposed by the regulation is not unreasonble.

Hence A

E is the answer! - it basically puts the doubt on the evidence provided for the conclusion. - "Under optimal conditions, pesteurized milk kept at 40 degrees ....at least 14 days."

A - becasue consumer will buy new milk maximum after 4 days, changing the storing limitation to 8 days should not be a problem. - strengthen the conclusion.
B - apparently strengthen the conclusion.
C - doesn't prove that changing the storing limit to 8 days would force store owners to have infrequent and large deliveries. it would just make it possible.
D - this would again strengthen the conclusion.


Good explanation...E it is.

A strengthens the conclusion: If the consumers keep the milk for only three days then after 8+3=11 days the milk will still be good ie no drop in quality of the milk.

E is the answer..

If the milk is not kept under optimal conditions the quality may deteriorate. Which weakens the argument.

So E.
