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.

About Critical Thinking
Critical thinking examines how conclusions follow from evidence, including claims, assumptions, arguments, inferences and relevant facts.
