QUESTION TYPE: Most Strongly Supported
FACTS:
- In country X, people eat more fat when they’re older.
- But the percentage of their food that is fat stays the same.
ANALYSIS: This is easiest to explain with an example. Let’s say that 30% of the food you eat is fat. This is true when you’re 20, and when you’re 75.
But you eat a larger amount of fat when you’re 75. Say, 800 calories of fat, compared to 650 calories.
There’s only one way that could be true: you eat more food at 75. Maybe 2,000 calories when you’re 20, and 2,500 when you’re 75.
___________
- We have no idea what people do in other countries.
- CORRECT. This is the only way to eat more fat while keeping the percentage of fat you eat the same.
- We have no idea what children eat. The stimulus only tells us about adults.
- Food variety makes no difference. I can eat the an equivalent percentage of fat by eating nothing but eggs or by eating meat and a variety of vegetables.
- We have no idea if older people gain or lose weight. We’d have to know how much exercise they get.
