19.   &nbspeople should avoid taking the antacid calcium carbonate in doses larger  ...

Question 19

Question type -. spot necessary assumption as the inference from the question

P1: ACC ---> Neutralize stomach acids

P2: ACC ---> increase the calcium level in the blood ---> Impair kidney function

P3: 0.5 G of ACC ---> production of gastrin ---> acid secretion

C: People should not take acc larger than 0.5

1. possible answer:

with more than 0.5 g of the acc, calcium level in the blood increased and thus impair kidney function.

So, no impair kidney function ---> no calcium level in the blood increased ---> No more than 0.5 G of the acc ( Exactly as 0.5 or less than 0.5 ) ---> neutralized stomach acid +Production of G ---> acid secretions.

A. we dont know if direct neutralization of stomach acid is either more effective or not if there is no g production.


B. No more than 0.5 Acc ---> Less likely than average to suffer impaired kidney function.

So, correlation would never prove a claim, it can strengthen a claim, but never strong enough to support it. Let us dive into the other answers first.

C. Apparently, there is no inference could be made from this comparative relationship

D. Just as what we inferred above. Correct answer.

E. No support at all
