The school board has responded to the new school lunch guidelines by replacing fried potatoes with fruit in a standard meal option that used to consist of a hamburger, fried potatoes, and milk. However, the guidelines specifically require that vegetables, not fruits, be included in every meal.
The information above most strongly supports which of the following conclusions?
(A) Fruit provides just as much health value to students as vegetables.
- health value is not discussed. The guidelines could be from cost saving perspective.
- wrong
(B) Students are more likely to eat fruit than vegetables.
- again the students perspective is not discussed in the argument
- wrong
(C) The school board is not following the new school guidelines.
- we need to assume that hamburger does not have vegetables in them.
- eliminate if a better option is found.
- keep
(D) The school board is responsible for the health of the student population.
- as mentioned in first option, the entire exercise could be a cost saving initiative.
- wrong
(E) The new school lunch guidelines are unnecessarily strict.
- taking note from option B, we do not know the student's perspective. May be the students may like the new system and hence may not consider this initiative as strict.
- wrong
Hence, considering all the options, option C seems to be best of the lot
