In our state, many a couple with teenage kids has fallen for the latest food fad: saladism. However, all teenagers need a lot of protein - that the body can absorb and imbibe easily - to grow in terms of height. Therefore, their parents should give them a diet heavy on fish, meat and eggs.


Which of the following is an assumption involved in the argument above?

(A) Saladism is bad for children.

(B) It is possible for many adults to adopt a practice that has no logical reasons to be adopted.

(C) Salads do not contain enough protein.

(D) The protein that are harder to absorb and imbibe do not help a teenager to grow in height.

(E) Fish, meat and eggs contain protein of different sorts.

This is not a standard ETS question.

They can give proteins for a benefit unless the salad is rich in protein. That's is the assumption.

I think option E is the correct answer as remaining options are irrelavant and out of scope

E is correct. As remaining options are not relevent to the assumption.

The passage suggests that the parents give their children a diet heavy on fish, meat and eggs.

Now we are asked to find an assumption. Think that WHY it was suggested to include fish, meat and eggs?

Because the current food they are eating does not have enough protein.

C states the same and hence the answer.

Shouldn't the answer be D here as it says the the protein should be easy to absorb for teenagers for them to grow in height.
