OFFICIAL EXPLANATIO0N QUESTION #1

B

While the general sentiment of this passage appears to be in support of coffee, it does not state that the benefits are proportionate to consumption as outlined in choice (A). In fact, it recognizes that there are downsides to drinking coffee and implies that drinking it to excess could exacerbate these problems by saying that the disadvantages are minimized when coffee is consumed in moderation. Instead, choice (B) is the statement that most closely aligns with the message of the passage. The use of the word "appear" acknowledges the fact that there are still unknowns about coffee that researchers are studying. Although the passage states that coffee may help a person fight off Parkinson's disease and dementia, you can infer from the passage that the link is merely a correlation and not necessarily a cause-andeffect relationship, rendering (C) inaccurate. The passage states that coffee does not cause cancer, as was once believed, but that it's now known to have some properties that help fight cancer, which means choice (D) is false. Choice (E) isn't correct because, although caffeine can be a cause of high blood pressure, it is certainly possible that someone who doesn't consume caffeine can have high blood pressure as well.
