Statement: "Organic food is healthier than processed food."Assumption:
Correct answer: A. Processed food lacks essential nutrition
- A. Processed food lacks essential nutrition
- B. Organic food is always affordable
- C. People know what's healthy
- D. All food is processed
Explanation
The correct assumption is that 'Processed food lacks essential nutrition,' which supports the statement that organic food is healthier by suggesting a reason why processed food might be less healthy. Option B is incorrect because affordability does not affect healthiness. Option C is incorrect as it shifts the focus from the healthiness of food to people's knowledge. Option D is incorrect because it denies the distinction between organic and processed foods, which is essential to the statement.
