Argument: "Genetic testing should be widely available."Which strengthens this?
Correct answer: C. It helps detect hereditary diseases early
- A. People enjoy labs
- B. DNA is complex
- C. It helps detect hereditary diseases early
- D. Tests are stylish
Explanation
The correct answer is that genetic testing helps detect hereditary diseases early. This strengthens the argument because early detection can lead to preventative measures and better health outcomes. The other options do not provide relevant or logical support for the argument. The complexity of DNA is a fact but does not relate to the accessibility of testing. Enjoyment of labs is an unrelated sentiment, and describing tests as stylish lacks logical relevance to the argument's validity.
