PrepTest 154 - Section 4 - Question 9

Show summary

Martin: I have heard it argued that, because changes in diet and exercise rarely result in weight loss, doctors should stop advising their patients to eat less and exercise more. ███ ████ ██ ██ ██████ ███ ███████ ██ ███████ █████ ███████ ████ █████████ ████ ██████ ████ ██ █████ ███████ ██ ████ ███ ████████ ████ ██████████ ███████ █████ ████ ██████ █████

Method of Reasoning

Martin concludes that a particular shortcoming (benefit of weight loss is rare) of an action (diet and exercise advice) is not enough to cease an action (doctors ceasing advice to eat less and exercise more), because there are other benefits to the action.
