Soft Drink Manufacturer:Our new children's soft
drink, RipeCal, is fortified with calcium.
Since calcium is essential for developing
healthy bones, drinking RipeCal regularly
will help make children healthy.
Consumer Advocate:But RipeCal also contains large
amounts of sugar, and regularly consuming
large amounts of sugar is unhealthful, especially
for children.
In responding to the soft drink manufacturer, the
consumer advocate does which of the following?
(A)Challenges the manufacturer's claim about the
nutritional value of calcium in children's diets
(B)Argues that the evidence cited by the manufac-
turer, when properly considered, leads to a
conclusion opposite to that reached by the
manufacturer.
(C)Implies that the manufacturer of a product is
typically unconcerned with the nutritional value
of that product.
(D)Questions whether a substance that is healthful
when eaten in moderation can be unhealthful
when eaten in excessive amounts.
(E)Presents additional facts that call into question
the conclusion drawn by the manufacturer.

are three-fourths the size of the teeth of an average
adult nondwarf woolly mammoth.
