Unlike juvenile diabetes, which is a genetic condition present from birth, type-2 diabetes is acquired in adulthood, generally as a result of obesity and inactivity. The number of cases of type-2 diabetes has been steadily increasing in the United States since 1970, indicating to many researchers that the American population is becoming increasingly heavy and sedentary. If the government wishes to stem the spread of the disease, it should educate the public about the dangers of an inactive, calorie-laden lifestyle and promote healthful diets and exercise.

Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest reason to believe that the proposed education program will NOT be effective?

a.School health programs already educate middle-school students about the issue.
b.The public already has access to this information through the Internet.
c.Food companies encourage the public to indulge in unhealthful snacks.
d.The government has not set aside money for such a program.
e.Healthful foods and exercise programs are beyond the financial means of many people.

qa is e however the choice is not close to the conclusion of the government setting up this program. Also it talks about the any peoples buying power rather than governemnets.

the government's program of promoting healthful diets and exercise would be rendered ineffective if people are financially unable to follow their suggestions.

The answer A does nto weaken the conclusion,infact it strengthen the conclusion - that with each quota-prices increased- so the conclusion- abolish quota to reduce prices is right

Answer E talks about increase in price beofre quotas were implemented and talks about price rise that happ even before the quotas were there- effectively saying that without quotas also prices were increasing-so ther eis some other cause which is leading tp price rise- and abolishing quotas will nt help
