Researchers have found that most people’s bodies make an enzyme, CYP2A6, that plays a crucial role in eliminating nicotine, the addictive drug in cigarettes, from the body. Smokers whose bodies make the most common form of this enzyme tend to smoke more than those whose bodies make some other form of it. Why? Well, the faster nicotine is eliminated from one’s body, the sooner one will crave another cigarette, and _______.

Summary
Most people’s bodies make enzyme CYP2A6, which plays a crucial role in eliminating nicotine from the body. Nicotine is the addictive drug in cigarettes. Smokers whose bodies make the most common form of this enzyme tend to smoke more than smokers whose bodies make some other form of the enzyme. Why? Because the faster nicotine is eliminated from the body, the faster a person will crave another cigarette.

Strongly Supported Conclusions
The most common form of the enzyme CYP2A6 is also the form that eliminates nicotine from the body the fastest.

A
the most common form of CYP2A6 is the one that most rapidly eliminates nicotine from the body
This answer is strongly supported. Since smokers with the most common form of the enzyme smoke more due to nicotine being eliminated from the body faster, the most common form of the enzyme must cause the rapid elimination of nicotine.
B
most people whose bodies make the rarest form of CYP2A6 do not smoke at all
This answer is unsupported. We don’t know what happens in people with the rarest form of CYP2A6.
C
if one’s body does not make CYP2A6, nicotine will still be eliminated, although very slowly
This answer is unsupported. We don’t know what occurs in people whose bodies do not produce the CYP2A6 enzyme.
D
the greater the quantity of CYP2A6 that one’s body makes, the faster nicotine will be eliminated
This answer is unsupported. We don’t know if there’s a proportional relationship between the quantity of the enzyme and nicotine being eliminated from the body.
E
helping to eliminate nicotine is not the only function that CYP2A6 serves
This answer is unsupported. We don’t know if there are any other functions the enzyme serves.
