Re: The coastal state of Louiseville boasts of an average life expectancy [#permalink]

Unable to distinguish between A and B. Can someone help?


Well, if you're trying to decide whether to move to Louiseville or Missouville to increase your kids' life expectancy, then answer B is definitely a cause for concern. It says that Louiseville is becoming more industrialized, which could mean that the positive environmental factors that were contributing to the higher life expectancy might not be around for much longer. On the other hand, answer A is just a general statement about how genetics and environment both play a role in life expectancy, but it doesn't really address the argument directly. So, I'd say B is the better choice for weakening the argument.

Can someone please help me with option C. I think it is a good weakener.

Option B states that Louiseville is an agrarian economy whereas passage states that Missssouville is a predominantly agrarian. Does this option contradict the facts of the passage? If so, then would not Option C be the best weakner? Please explain.
