A study found that last year roughly 6,700 homeless people in the United States were admitted to hospitals due to malnutrition. In the same year, a little more than 7,200 nonhomeless people were admitted to hospitals for the same reason. These findings clearly show that the nonhomeless are more likely to suffer from malnutrition than are the homeless.
The answer to which of the following questions would be most likely to point out the illogical nature of the conclusion drawn above?
(A) What is the relative level of severity of the malnutrition suffered by each group cited in the study?
(B) To what extent, on average, are the nonhomeless better off financially than are the homeless?
(C) To what extent are the causes of malnutrition in the nonhomeless related to ignorance of proper dietary habits?
(D) What percentage of each group cited in the study suffered from malnutrition last year?
(E) What effect would a large increase in the number of homeless shelters have on the incidence of malnutrition among the homeless?
