Question 5 • English IV

Which sentence from the text contains an example of faulty analogy?

Answer
A
Vegetables can even be added to maximize health benefits.
B
Strawberries are the main ingredient in strawberry milkshakes.
C
By incorporating fruit into the milkshake, it changes from an unhealthy snack to a nutritious treat.
D
If fruit is an essential part of a balanced diet, then milkshakes should be considered a health food.

Explanation

A faulty analogy draws a conclusion by treating two things as more alike than they really are. Choice D reasons that because fruit is essential to a balanced diet, a milkshake containing fruit should count as a health food. But having one healthy ingredient does not make a milkshake equivalent to a balanced diet or automatically make it healthful.
