In situations where it is difficult to make informed decisions about products, consumers should be provided with the relevant information. The difficulty of determining whether a food product contained nutritious ingredients was resolved by requiring food manufacturers to print nutritional information on their products’ packaging. Similarly, many consumers are interested in conserving energy, and since there is no easy way for consumers to determine how much energy was required to manufacture a product, _______.

Summary
Consumers should be provided with relevant information in situations where it is difficult to make informed decisions about products. Requiring food manufacturers to print nutrition information on packaging solved the problem of consumers having difficulty determining whether a food contained nutritious ingredients. Many consumers are interested in conserving energy. There is no way for consumers to determine how much energy was required to make a product.

Strongly Supported Conclusions
Manufacturers should be required to label products based on how much energy was required to produce it.

A
consumers who are informed of the amount of energy used to produce a product should choose energy efficient products
This is unsupported because the problem is that consumers have difficulty becoming informed about the amount of energy used to produce a product in the first place.
B
manufacturers should use less energy while producing products
This is unsupported because the problem described is that consumers don’t have enough information about the products, not necessarily that too much energy is being used.
C
providing consumers with information about the energy used to produce a product would reduce the impact of fossil fuels on our lives and economy
This is unsupported because we don’t know how consumers would respond if the energy inputs were printed on products.
D
consumers should demand products that require less energy to produce
This is unsupported because the problem the author is trying to solve is consumers not having information on how much energy it took to make products. Demanding that products require less energy to produce doesn’t solve this information gap.
E
manufacturers should be required to label their products with information about the amount of energy used to produce those products
This is strongly supported because we get an analogous situation where printing nutrition information solved a consumer difficulty. Printing the energy used to produce products would solve a consumer difficulty as well.
