SECTION 4 · lr

The author concludes that children are especially likely to develop strong aversions to some foods. This is because people who get sick after eating a meal often develop an aversion to the strongest-tasting food in the meal.

In order for children to be especially likely to develop food aversions, the author assumes one of two things: that children are either especially likely to get sick after eating a meal, or that they’re especially likely to find certain tastes strong in a meal.

This would weaken the author’s argument, which depends on meals having distinctive flavors. Children presumably wouldn’t be more likely to develop food aversions if their meals generally don't have distinct flavors.

This is irrelevant, because the author isn't discussing voluntary aversions that depend on a logical thought process.

Children taste distinctive flavors better, and they become sick more often. This explains why the phenomenon the author describes applies more frequently to children than to adults, strengthening the argument.

The argument never mentions how long recovery takes being a factor, just the simple fact of getting sick. The length of the illness is irrelevant.

This is irrelevant, because the author is discussing aversions to foods that someone has already eaten, followed by getting sick. New foods have nothing to do with this phenomenon.
