Question 23 Question 24 Question 25 Question 26 Question 27

The author concludes that a typical bagel and a typical donut eater both consume about the same amount of calories in one sitting. Why? Donut eaters eat 680 calories of donuts in one sitting, and bagel eaters eat 500 calories of bagels in one sitting, though spreads can increase the bagel’s amount to match the donut eater.

The author assumes that bagel and donut eaters are not consuming anything else with their meals. We’re told about the addition of spreads on bagels, but what about other food and drink?

The author also assumes that just because bagel eaters can match donut eaters with spreads that they will.

Like C and B, it’s important to remember that the conclusion is specifically about calorie content. We don’t care about any impact on overall health.

Like A and C, it’s important to remember that the conclusion is specifically about calorie content. We don’t care if bagel eaters are aware of the calories they’re eating—only that they’re actually consuming those calories.

Like A and B, it’s important to remember that the conclusion is specifically about calorie content. We don’t care about any impact to overall health.

We’re told that bagel eaters can add spreads to their meals to increase calories, but we need to rule out the same possibility in donut eaters. If donut eaters also add foods that increase the calories they eat, then they would end up eating more calories than bagel eaters, and the argument would fall apart.

Even if donut eaters are bagel eaters and vice versa, they could still be consuming the same amount of calories in one sitting. As such, this answer choice and its negation have no bearing on the argument.
