Self-study
A new process enables ordinary table salt to be fortified with iron. ████ ███████ █████ ████ ██████ ███ ████ █████████ ██ ██████ ██ ███ ███████ ██████████ ███ ██ █ ██████████ ██ ████ ██ ███ █████ ████ ██ ████ ██ █ ████████████ ███ ████ ███ █ ██████ ████████ ███ ████ ███ ██████ ███ ██████ ███████ ████ ██ ██████████ ████ █████ ███████ ████ ██ ███████████ ████████
Summarize Argument
The author concludes that fortifying salt with iron could help reduce the general incidence of anemia. People around the world consume enough salt that this advance would significantly increase their iron intake, thus remedying the iron deficiency that causes anemia.
Identify Argument Part
The referenced text supports the argument’s conclusion. Since people around the world eat enough salt for iron-fortified salt to make a health difference, iron-fortified salt could decrease the incidence of anemia brought on by iron deficiency.

Which one of the following ████ ██████████ █████████ ███ ████ ██████ ██ ███ ████████ ██ ███ █████████ ████ ██████ ███████ ████ ██ ██████████ ████ █████ ███████ ████ ██ ███████████ ████████
a
It is the ██████████ ██ ███ █████████
The author concludes that iron-fortified salt could help reduce the general incidence of anemia. The referenced text supports this conclusion.
b
It provides support ███ ███ ██████████ ██ ███ █████████
The referenced text is a premise. It supports the conclusion by showing how salt is broadly used, which suggests iron-fortified salt could make a difference in anemia rates.
c
It is a █████ ████ ███ ████████ ██ ████████ ████████
The referenced text supports the argument. Why would iron-fortified salt reduce anemia in the world’s population? Because people around the world use enough salt that the iron fortification could have an effect.
d
It qualifies the ██████████ ██ ███ █████████
The conclusion is that iron-fortified salt would reduce the general incidence of anemia. The referenced text supports that claim rather than qualifying (meaning, limiting) its scope.
e
It illustrates a █████████ ████ █████████ ███ █████████
The referenced text doesn't illustrate a principle. It's not an example (illustration) of anything. The claim that people eat enough salt that iron-fortified salt would provide lots of iron doesn't demonstrate some broader generalization. It's a fact about the amount of iron that people would get, which, combined with the fact that salt is used all over the world, suggests that iron-fortified salt could reduce the world's anemia rate.
