Dietitian: It is true that nutrients are most effective when provided by natural foods rather than artificial supplements. █████ ██ ██ ████ ████ ████ ███ ██ █████ ████ ██ █████████ ██████████ ██████ ███ ███████ ██████ ███ ████ ██ ████ █████████ ██ ██████████ ██ ███████████ ███ ██ █████████ █████ ██ █████████ ███████ ██ █████ ███ ████ ██████ █████████ ████ ████████ ████ ███████ █ ██████ ██ ██ ████████ ████ ██ █████ ████ ████
Summarize Argument
Eating raw carrots alone isn’t an effective way to get vitamin A, even though natural foods are the best source of nutrients. The body needs a little fat to turn the beta carotene in carrots into vitamin A. While fat is generally unhealthy, a small amount is necessary to get vitamin A from carrots. This is because the body cannot get vitamin A from carrots unless the carrots are consumed with at least some fat.
Identify Argument Part
The stimulus text explains why people should be careful with how much fat they eat. The dietitian notes that while a little bit of fat is helpful because it helps your body get important vitamins from food, eating too much fat is bad.

It is mentioned ██ █ ██████ ███ ████████ █ ███████ ████████ ████ ███ █████████ ████████ █ ██████ ███ ███ ████████ ██ ███ ████████
This describes the stimulus text’s role. The author recommends eating a little bit of fat with carrots so that the body can absorb vitamin A, but the stimulus text also cautions against eating too much fat because “fat in one’s diet is generally unhealthy.”
b
It is mentioned ██ ███ ██████ ████ ██ █████ █████ █████ ██ █████ ███ █████████ █ ███████ ████████ ███ █████████ ██████████
The Dietitian doesn’t discuss any dietary recommendations she disfavors, so the stimulus text can’t support such a claim. Instead, the stimulus text qualifies the Dietitian’s recommendation. She suggests eating some fat, but not too much, because fat is “generally unhealthy.”
c
It is mentioned ██ █ █████████ ████████ ██████████ ████ ███ █████████ ████████ ██ █████████ ███████████
The stimulus text doesn't present a hypothesis from others, and it isn't a claim the Dietitian tries to disprove. Instead, the Dietitian agrees with it as a clarification of her advice. She explains that while she recommends a little fat, she doesn’t recommend too much.

It is attacked ██ ██████████ ████████ ███ ███ █████ ████ █████████ ███ ████ █████████ ████ ████████ ██ ███████ █████ ██████ ████ ██████████ ████████████
The Dietitian doesn’t attack the stimulus text; she agrees with it and uses it to clarify her advice. She explains that while she recommends a little fat, she doesn’t recommend too much because fat is “generally unhealthy.”
e
It is cited ██ █ ███ ██████ ███ ████████ █ ███████ █████ ████ ███ █████████ ███████████
Rather than providing a bad reason for adopting a dietary habit (e.g., “It will make your mom mad!”), the stimulus text simply limits the Dietitican’s recommendation regarding the habit. The stimulus text explains why you should only include a little fat in your diet.
