Question

Damian wrote a paragraph about healthy eating. His argument is that eating a balanced diet is the best way to stay healthy. Which piece of evidence should Damian remove to strengthen his argument?

Options:
Fruits and vegetables should be eaten with each meal.
Some sugar should be consumed to help fuel the brain
The most popular way to loose weight is by cutting out carbs
Eating junk food in moderation is not as unhealthy as people believe

Answer 1

Damian should remove the evidence that "Eating junk food in moderation is not as unhealthy as people believe" in order to strengthen his argument. This statement does not support the idea that a balanced diet is the best way to stay healthy. In fact, it suggests that consuming unhealthy foods in moderation is acceptable, which contradicts the main point about the importance of a balanced diet.
