Q:

A study published in PLOS Medicine found that obesity was the cause of 1 in 10 deaths in the United States. Also, obesity was the third-leading cause of death in men and women, after high blood pressure and smoking. Hence, many doctors believe that it’s high time obesity be placed in the category of serious diseases as it not only decreases life expectancy but also impairs the normal functioning of the body.
Which of the following statements, if true, undermines the given argument?

A) Extreme obesity can shorten a person's life span by 10 years. B) Obesity is the result of eating of too much and of a sedentary lifestyle and cannot be defined as a disease per se.
C) Obesity can be a genetic disorder such as sickle-cell anemia and Tay- Sachs, which are classified as diseases. D) The Food and Drug Administration, the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and the Obesity Society, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, and the American College of Gastroenterology have i
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Obesity is the result of eating of too much and of a sedentary lifestyle and cannot be defined as a disease per se.

Explanation:

The given argument states that obesity should be categorized as a serious disease as it is known to decrease life expectancy and to harm the normal functioning of the body just like any other life-threatening disease. Option B undermines the argument by pointing out that obesity is mostly a lifestyle problem and not a disease. Compared to 40 years ago, people today spend more time commuting, sitting in front of a computer, watching television, playing video games, and generally exercising less, and end up burning fewer calories. Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.

Q:

In the question given below, a statement is given followed by three courses of action. A course of action is taken for improvement, follow up, etc. Read the statement carefully and give your answer.

Statement:
A knife-wielding assailant killed a 29- year-old man and injured four others in a lively neighbourhood near Paris’ famed Opera Garnier before he was killed by police on Saturday night.

Courses of Action:
I. The government should ban the sale of knives in all major cities.
II. Any person seen carrying a knife should be immediately taken into police custody.
III. Policemen should be posted near all major tourist spots to avoid such untoward incidents.

A) Only course of action I follows B) Only course of action II follows
C) Both I and II follow D) Both II and III follow
 
Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

None of the courses of action follow. Banning the sale of knives just because one particular knife-wielding assailant went on a rampage makes no sense. Similarly, taking into police custody all those who are seen carrying knives is not something practical. Knives can be used for so many other purposes not involving the killing/harming of people. Finally, it is not a realistic expectation that posting policemen in all major tourist spots would reduce or altogether stop instances of such occurrences. Therefore, option E is the correct answer.
