Consumer advocate: In our nation, food packages must list the number of calories per food serving. But most of the serving sizes used are misleadingly small and should be updated. The serving sizes were set decades ago, when our nation’s people typically ate smaller portions than they do today, and, as a result, people eating typical portions today consume more calories than the package labeling appears to indicate that they will. It is time package labeling reflected these changes.
Which of the following is the main point of the consumer advocate’s argument?
选项
A、The number of calories per serving listed on most food packages in the consumer advocate’s nation is misleadingly small.
B、Most serving sizes used on food packages in the consumer advocate’s nation should be increased to reflect today’s typical portion sizes.
C、People eating typical portions today often consume far more calories than the number of calories per serving listed on food packages in the consumer advocate’s nation.
D、The serving sizes used on food packages in the consumer advocate’s nation were set when people ate smaller portions on average than they do today.
E、The use of misleadingly small serving sizes on food packages in the consumer advocate’s nation probably leads many people to consume more calories than they otherwise would.
答案
B
解析
Of the answer choices given, which one most accurately states the consumer advocates main point, that is, the advocates main conclusion?
We are told that nutritional information on food packages currently is outdated and misleading. That is, the serving sizes that these packages show tend to understate the calories people will consume because people now typically consume greater amounts than people did when the serving sizes were set decades ago.
The consumer advocate’s main conclusion is to recommend that serving sizes be updated to reflect the changes in food-consumption trends.
A The fact that serving sizes are misleadingly small is a premise of the argument rather than its conclusion.
B Correct. This accurately expresses the consumer advocate’s main conclusion.
C The fact that people consume more calories per serving than the amount indicated on the packaging is a premise of the argument rather than its conclusion.
D The fact that serving sizes were set during a time when people consumed smaller portions is a premise of the argument rather than its conclusion.
E The fact that people consume more calories than they believe they consume because of misleading packaging is a premise of the argument rather than its conclusion.
The correct answer is B.
