The number of calories in a gram of refined cane sugar is the same as in an equal amount of fructose, the natural sugar found in fruits and vegetables. Therefore, a piece of candy made with a give amount of refined cane sugar is no higher in calories than a pieced of fruit that contains an equal amount of fructose.
The reasoning in the arguments is flawed because the argument
(A) fails to consider the possibility that fruit might contain noncaloric nutrients that candy does not contain
(B) presupposes that all candy is made with similar amounts of sugar
(C) confuses one kind of sugar with another
(D) presupposes what it sets out to establish, that fruit does not differ from sugar-based candy in the number of calories each contains
(E) overlooks the possibility that sugar might not be the only calorie-containing ingredient in candy or fruit

Quote:
argument
= calories in gram of sugar = in gram of fructose
= calories in candy with amount sugar <= fruits with amount fructose
flaw
Ans (E) the comparison before was gram of substance vs that of another, here he compares something else, which we cannot establish, that might have different kcal.

The number of calories in a gram of refined cane sugar is the same as in an equal amount of fructose, the natural sugar found in fruits and vegetables. Therefore, a piece of candy made with a give amount of refined cane sugar is no higher in calories than a pieced of fruit that contains an equal amount of fructose.
Stimulus: the calories per gram of refined cane sugar is same as in an equal amount of fructose the natural sugar found in fruits. Therefore if a piece of candy made with given amount of refined cane sugar then it equals to the same amount of fructose in fruit.
The reasoning in the arguments is flawed because the argument
(A) fails to consider the possibility that fruit might contain noncaloric nutrients that candy does not contain
(B) presupposes that all candy is made with similar amounts of sugar
(C) confuses one kind of sugar with another
(D) presupposes what it sets out to establish, that fruit does not differ from sugar-based candy in the number of calories each contains
(E) overlooks the possibility that sugar might not be the only calorie-containing ingredient in candy or fruit
IMO E: The author clearly overlooks the possibility that sugar is not the only ingredient in candy or fruits and the other ingredients will also contribute the calorie factors and health factors.
