KAPLAN VERBAL (public health officia)l

A Public Health Official reported that 60% of the children at summer school have never had measles or chicken pox,and that of this 60% not one child has ever been observed to eat the cheese served in the school lunches.From this he concluded that children who abstain from cheese products will protect themselves from most childhood diseases.


Each of the following ,if true, would strengthen the official's argument EXCEPT:

a) Medically Speaking .whatever serves to inhibit measles and chicken pox will generally inhibit the entire spectrum of childhood diseases.

b)The observation the officer carried out was extremely accurate, and all those observed to abstain from cheese at school did,in fact , abstain.

c)The children's eating habit are the same at school as anywhere else,and those who abstain fron cheese products at school do so in general.

d)Recent research has pointed to a deficiency in cheese products as one of the major causes of measles and chicken pox infections.

e)Most cheeses and cheese products harbor bacteria that are known to be causative agents for many childhood disease,such as measles and chicken pox.

imo:D

stimulus says:
Abstainin from cheese -->>> protect children frm diseases

D talks abt intake of cheese..

"deficiency in cheese products"-->>major causes of measles and chicken pox infections.


which doesnt help in anyway..
its not pertaining to the stimulus.


thx

d) Recent research has pointed to a deficiency in cheese products as one of the major causes of measles and chicken pox infections.

D states that if anyone will not eat cheese he will get chicken pox infection.

This considerably weakens argument's conclusion by stating that premise is not correct

D it is....

D) Recent research has pointed to a deficiency in cheese products as one of the major causes of measles and chicken pox infections.

Only this statement doesn't strengthen the official's argument.... It infact weakens
