Nutritionist: Recent studies show that the height of the average American has increased 2 inches in the past 10 years, lending support to the view that modern foods stimulate growth. The argument would be strengthened by pointing out that

  1. statistical studies were done on which foods were eaten
  2. modern foods are unhealthy
  3. all average heights are increasing
  4. comparisons have been studied in control groups
  5. there is no such thing as an average American

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Options [modern foods are unhealthy] and [there is no such thing as an average American] weaken the argument, option [statistical studies were done on which foods were eaten] repeats the argument, and [all average heights are increasing] makes no sense, since" average height" is a single composite of all heights.
