This is a strengthening question, as the stem states: Which one of the following principles, if established, most strongly supports the argument?
This is a nice and short stimulus. Our author concludes purely on the basis that cigarette smoking has been found to be a health hazard, all smoking advertisements should be banned. We want a principle that justifies this conclusion about what ought to happen. On to the answers:
Answer Choice (A) This is bait answer, and what makes this question particularly difficult. What we have to infer is that there are other ways of promoting smoking besides showing people smoking.
Answer Choice (B) Again, we want a reason to ban all advertisements that promote smoking; not just the ones that are misleading.
Answer Choice (C) Ok, but even if they did our author still believes they should be banned.
Answer Choice (D) We’ve been told nothing about government standards.
Correct Answer Choice (E) Bingo! What we need to catch on to is the contrapositive of this answer; if a product is unhealthy (i.e a health hazard) then it shouldn’t be promoted by advertisements. It would follow from this principle and the fact cigarette smoking has been shown to be unhealthy that cigarettes should not be promoted, which would support the government banning such promotions.
