Question

It is said that a smile is universally understood and nothing triggers a smile more universally than a taste of sugar. Nearly everyone loves sugar. Infant studies indicate that humans are born with an innate love of sweets. Based on statistics, a lot of people in Great Britain must be smiling, because on average, every man,woman and child in that country consumes ninety-five pounds of sugar each year.

From this passage it seems safe to conclude that the English 

 

A) Do not know that too much sugar is unhealthy.

B) Eat desserts at every meal.

C) Are fonder of sweets than most people.

D) Have more cavities than any other people.

Answer 1

The answer is C

Answer 2

(C) Are fonder of sweets than most people. The passage basically states that the English have higher preference for sugary food than other people.

 

(A) is incorrect because the passage does say whether the English know that too much sugar unhealthy or not. (B) is incorrect because it says that the English consume more sugar each year than people from other countries, but that does not mean that they eat sugar every meal. (D) Have more cavities than other people may be incorrect if the English have better dental care to protect their teeth.
