Statement: "More people are using fitness tracking apps."Inference:
Correct answer: A. Interest in personal health is growing
- A. Interest in personal health is growing
- B. Everyone has a smartwatch
- C. Apps are free
- D. Doctors recommend apps
Explanation
The correct inference is that interest in personal health is growing, as the increased usage of fitness tracking apps indicates a heightened awareness and concern for personal health and fitness. Option A aligns with this reasoning. Option B is incorrect as it incorrectly assumes that everyone owns a smartwatch, which is not necessary for using fitness apps. Option C is incorrect because it makes an assumption about the cost of apps without evidence. Option D is incorrect because it speculates on medical recommendations without any supporting information from the statement.
