  • Question
  • In the past, consumers would rarely walk into an ice cream store and order low-fat ice cream. But that isn't the case today. An increasing health consciousness combined with a much bigger selection of tasty low-fat foods in all categories has made low-fat ice cream a very profitable item for ice cream store owners.
    This paragraph best supports the statement that


  • Options
  • A. low-fat ice cream produces more revenue than other low-fat foods.
  • B. ice cream store owners would be better off carrying only low-fat ice cream.
  • C. ice cream store owners no longer think that low-fat ice cream is an unpopular item.
  • D. low-fat ice cream is more popular than other kinds of ice cream.
  • E. consumers are fickle and it is impossible to please them

  • Correct Answer
  • ice cream store owners no longer think that low-fat ice cream is an unpopular item.

There is no indication that choices a, b, d,or e are true based on the information given.

    • 2. Most Reality TV centers on two common motivators: fame and money. The shows transform waitresses, hairdressers, investment bankers, counselors, and teachers, to name a few, from obscure figures to house-hold names.
