Question #N1372

The author's main goal in the passage is to describe the features of a new product—a special type of food that is being promoted as a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional snacks. The author claims that the product is made with all-natural ingredients, and that it is a source of essential vitamins and minerals. The author also states that the product is available in several flavors. Which of the following sentences should be added to the end of the passage to most effectively conclude the argument?

Which of the following sentences best concludes the argument?
A. For a healthy and delicious snack, look no further than this new product.
B. While the product is available in several flavors, it is not suitable for people with nut allergies.
C. The product is made with all-natural ingredients and is a good source of protein.
D. The product is available at most grocery stores, and it is often on sale.

Correct Answer is: A

Choice A is the best answer because it effectively concludes the argument by summarizing the author’s main point—that the product is a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional snacks—and by encouraging the reader to try the product. The other choices are incorrect because they don’t effectively conclude the argument. Choice B introduces a new idea—that the product is not suitable for people with nut allergies—that isn’t relevant to the author’s main point. Choice C simply restates information that has already been presented in the passage, and Choice D provides information that is not relevant to the author’s main point.
