In this post, we will go through one of the questions from Logical Reasoning Preptest 53. We will break down the question and explain the correct answer choice.

Question:

Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument?

Argument:

The government should not ban the sale of junk food in schools because ng so would deprive children of the freedom to choose what they eat. Freedom of choice is a fundamental right that should not be infringed upon.

Answer Choices:

Junk food is not actually harmful to children.
Children are not capable of making informed choices about what they eat.
The government has a responsibility to protect children from harm.
There are other ways to address the problem of childhood obesity.
The government should regulate the sale of junk food in schools, but not ban it outright.

Explanation:

The argument relies on the assumption that freedom of choice is a fundamental right that should not be infringed upon. Answer choice (B) weakens this assumption by pointing out that children are not capable of making informed choices about what they eat. If children are not capable of making informed choices, then the argument's claim that banning junk food would deprive children of their freedom of choice is less convincing.

Therefore, the correct answer is (B) Children are not capable of making informed choices about what they eat.
