Researchers recently studied the relationship between diet and mood, using a diverse sample of 1,000 adults. It was found that those who ate the most chocolate were the most likely to feel depressed. Therefore, by reducing excessive chocolate consumption, adults can almost certainly improve their mood.
The argument is most vulnerable to criticism on which one of the following grounds?
(A) It improperly infers from the fact that a substance causally contributes to a condition that a reduction in the consumption of the substance is likely to eliminate that condition.
(B) It draws a conclusion about the population as a whole on the basis of a sample that is unlikely to be representative of that population.
(C) It draws a conclusion about a causal relationship between two phenomena from evidence that merely suggests that there is a correlation between those phenomena.
(D) It confuses a condition that is necessary for establishing the truth of the conclusion with a condition that is sufficient for establishing the truth of the conclusion.
(E) Its conclusion is worded too vaguely to evaluate the degree to which the premises support the truth of the conclusion.

Answer is "C" for this one. People who are depressed could resort to eating a lot of chocolate to cope rather than chocolate causing said depression. The passage suggests the later.

The argument is most vulnerable to criticism on which one of the following grounds?
(A) It improperly infers from the fact that a substance causally contributes to a condition that a reduction in the consumption of the substance is likely to eliminate that condition. - WRONG. 2nd best choice here. The inference is proper from the fact that that research suggests. The way the pasage is presented the conclusion seems proper but it suffers something else.
(B) It draws a conclusion about the population as a whole on the basis of a sample that is unlikely to be representative of that population. - WRONG. Absolutely wrong.
(C) It draws a conclusion about a causal relationship between two phenomena from evidence that merely suggests that there is a correlation between those phenomena. - CORRECT. Causation differs from correlation.
(D) It confuses a condition that is necessary for establishing the truth of the conclusion with a condition that is sufficient for establishing the truth of the conclusion. - WRONG. Going in other direction not relevant to the passage.
(E) Its conclusion is worded too vaguely to evaluate the degree to which the premises support the truth of the conclusion. - WRONG. Its crisp and clear.
Answer C.
