Statement–Courses of Action (nutrition guidance vs. bans): Reports indicate Vitamin E from fresh fruits and vegetables benefits the human body, whereas capsule-form Vitamin E does not produce the same effect; which course(s) of action logically follow—(I) ban the sale of Vitamin E capsules, or (II) encourage people to consume fresh fruits and vegetables to meet Vitamin E needs?

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Only II follows

Explanation:

Given data

  • Food-source Vitamin E shows benefit; capsules reportedly do not have the same effect.
  • Course I: ban capsules.
  • Course II: promote dietary Vitamin E via fruits and vegetables.

Concept/Approach (evidence-consistent, least-restrictive action)Encouraging effective behaviour change (dietary intake) follows logically; banning a legally sold supplement is not warranted by the statement alone.

Step 1: Course IA ban requires proof of harm or illegality, neither of which is provided.

Step 2: Course IIDirectly aligned with the evidence stated and non-coercive.

Final AnswerOnly II follows.
