Sixty adults were asked to keep a diary of their meals, including what they consumed, when, and in the company of how many people. It was found that at meals with which they drank alcoholic beverages, they consumed about 175 calories more from nonalcoholic source than they did at meals with which they did not drink alcoholic beverages.
Each of the following, if true, contributes to an explanation of the difference in caloric intake EXCEPT:
(A) Diners spent a much longer time at meals served with alcohol than they did at those serve without alcohol.
(B) The meals eaten later in the day tended to be larger than those eaten earlier in the day, and later meals were more likely to include alcohol.
(C) People eat more when there are more people present at the meal, and more people tended to be present at meal served with alcohol than at meals served without alcohol.
(D) The meals that were most carefully prepared and most attractively served tended to be those at which alcoholic beverages were consumed.
(E) At meals that included alcohol, relatively more of the total calories consumed came from carbohydrates and relatively fewer of them came from fats and proteins.
Got this from another forum.
OA is E, but i am not sure how D explains the difference??? _________________ You know what you want...keep moving towards it |

If a dish served with alcoholic drink is more attractive and tasty(carefully prepared)...people tend to eat more dishes which are attractive and tasty...hence this explain the difference....

To put in an other way(in addn to what a user has said above):
At meals that included alcohol, relatively more of the total calories consumed came from carbohydrates and relatively fewer of them came from fats and proteins
This does not tells us how more calories could have been consumed.
For eg: The fats and proteins served in meals that did not include alcohol could provide more calories than the calories extra carbohydrate provided At meals that included alcohol.

What does HTH stand for?
I agree with choice E. _________________ Which would be better... an MBA at a top school (Harvard/Stanford/Wharton) or a masters in computer science (MIT/Stanford/Berkeley)?
Still studying for the GMAT... my current GMAT score isn't official -.- it's my latest practice test score from OG/mba.com. |
