Self-study
Lack of exercise produces the same or similar bodily effects as aging. ██ █████ ███ ████████ ███████ ████ █████████ █████ ███ █████ ██ ██████ ████ ██ ███████████ █████████ ██ █████ ████████ █████ ███ ███████ ███ ███████ ████ ███ ███████ ██████████ ████ ██████ ██████████ ████████
Summary
Aging and lack of exercise cause similar effects on the body. Physical changes that accompany aging can be slowed by exercise. However, no drug is promising when it comes to slowing physical changes accompanying aging.
Strongly Supported Conclusions
If someone wants to slow down the physical changes that accompany age, exercise will likely be more helpful than drugs.

a
taking drugs has ███ ████ ██████ ██ █████ ██ ████ █ ████ ██ ████████
This answer is unsupported. We don’t know anything about the effects of taking drugs, just that drugs aren't helpful for slowing the changes associated with aging.
b

This answer is unsupported. We don’t know anything about sustaining health in general. The stimulus only discusses the physical changes caused by aging.
c
appropriate exercise can ███████ ███ ████████ ███████ ██████████ ████ █████
This answer is unsupported. We don’t know whether exercise prevents physical changes. Rather, we only know that exercise slows these physical changes.
d
people who do ███ ████████ ████ ████ ███ █████ ████ ████ ███ ████████ ████ █████████ ██ ████████ ██ █ █████ ███
This answer is unsupported. We don’t know whether the beneficial effects of exercise are different at different ages.
e
if the physical ███████ ██ █████ ███ ██ ██ ███████ ██ ██ ████ █████████ ██ ████ ██ ████████ ████ ██ █████
This answer is strongly supported. Since drugs do not hold any promise for slowing down physical changes associated with aging, but we know exercise can slow these changes, it’s better to rely on exercise for this goal.
