The average Holstein heifer calf born in New Zealand weighs between 80 and 85 pounds at the age of 1 month. Hence, if a one-month-old Holstein heifer calf weighs only 78 pounds, its weight gain is below the average weight of Holstein heifer calves in New Zealand.
Which of the following indicates a flaw in the reasoning above?
A Weight in only one of the health indicators of newborn cattle.
B Some three-month-old Holstein heifer calves weigh as much as 100 pounds.
C It is possible for a normal Holstein heifer calf to weigh 78 pounds at birth.
D The phrase below average in this context need not necessarily mean inadequate
E Average weight and average weight gain are different metrics.

E seems to be the only possible answer.
All other options are irrelevant not talking about weight or weight gain.

Weight gain is compared to weight average
Both are separate entities
Also let's say at the start one has 60 as weight then weight becomes 78
Means weight gain is 18. 18*100/60=30 percent
Whereas average weight would become in this case is (60+78)/2= 69
So both are different and E correctly states this
