LSAT Question Explanation
PT 105, Section 4, Question 3
Most Strongly SupportedExplanation
Adults think their diets correspond with nutritional guidelines, but in reality most are not even close.
Both women and men underestimated their fat intake and overestimated their intake of most other foods.
Women didn't meet the recommended guidelines in most categories, especially fruits and vegetables.
Men underestimated their fat consumption by half. Men met the recommendations for bread but fell short for everything else.
Answer choices
We don't know this. We just know that men and women underestimated their fat intake and overestimated their intake of most other foods. There could have been some category they estimated accurately.
We don't know if more men or women were aware of their diets not corresponding with the guidelines. We just know that most people overall estimated that their diets corresponded closely with the guidelines, and that they were wrong.
It never talks about how aware people were of the guidelines for bread.
This seems wrong. The stimulus said men were generally overestimating their consumption of foods (besides fat), but this answer choice indicates that men were underestimating their fruit and veggie intake.
This has to be true because the last sentence tells us that men fell short of the recommendations for everything besides bread.
