Celiac disease results from an inability of the digestive tract, specifically the small intestine, to absorb gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and certain other grains. The body’s immune system attacks the gluten as if the protein were a harmful pathogen, often resulting in serious damage to the intestinal lining. People who suffer from celiac disease must eliminate gluten from their diets. Symptoms of the disease include abdominal cramps, bloating, and anemia.


If the statements above are true, which of the following assertions can be made on the basis of them?

(A) Anyone who suffers from celiac disease will experience anemia.
(B) Eliminating gluten from one’s diet will cure celiac disease.
(C) People experiencing abdominal cramps, bloating, and anemia have celiac disease.
(D) Gluten is found only in grains.
(E) The human body cannot always recognize harmless substances.

Quesiton is about what we say finally from the given passage.

We are told that The body’s immune system attacks the gluten as if the protein were a harmful pathogen, often resulting in serious damage to the intestinal lining. Here the glutton infact is not a harmful but our mad immune system thinks like that.

When we go through all the choices outside information shouldn't come into the picture as we have to conclude based on the information that we have.
A. Too exteme.
B. Will cure is extreme.
C. This info not given
D. Only in grains not given.
E. Based on the as if condition we can predict this as our option. Hence this is correct.

Official solution plz.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



The text tells us that celiac disease results when the body mistakes gluten for a harmful pathogen, causing damage to the intestine. We are also told that gluten is a protein found in certain grains, and that people suffering from celiac disease must eliminate it from their diets. Finally, we are told that symptoms of the disease include cramps, bloating, and anemia. We need to find an answer choice that is inferable from these facts alone.

(A) Anemia is just one of several symptoms of the disease. We do not know whether everyone who has the disease will also develop anemia.

(B) We do not know whether eliminating gluten will cure the disease, only that people with the disease must not eat gluten. Perhaps the disease will exist anyway in a latent form.

(C) We do not know whether the symptoms mentioned are also symptoms of other conditions.

(D) We do not know whether gluten is found only in grains. It may exist in other foods as well.

(E) CORRECT. If the body mistakes gluten for a harmful pathogen, then it must be true that the body cannot always recognize harmless substances.
