I was wondering if you could double check my work thanks!
Kidneys play a major homeostatic role in regulating body fluids. Which would not be a reasonable inference?
A.
Sure, I'd be happy to help double check your work! To determine if a given statement is a reasonable inference, we need to analyze if it logically follows from the information provided or if it is supported by evidence.
You stated that "Kidneys play a major homeostatic role in regulating body fluids." Now let's consider the answer choices to find the one that is not a reasonable inference:
A. "The kidneys only regulate the volume of body fluids."
To determine if choice A is a reasonable inference, we need to assess if it logically follows from the initial statement.
Based on the information provided, that kidneys play a "major homeostatic role in regulating body fluids," it implies that the kidneys are involved in regulating various aspects of body fluids, not just volume alone. Therefore, choice A is not a reasonable inference since it is too limiting and does not account for the broad range of functions performed by the kidneys in regulating body fluids.
If this is how you reasoned through the problem as well, then your analysis seems correct! But please let me know if you need any further clarification or assistance.
