Healthy eating is a critical component of healthy aging. When should one start eating healthy? It turns out that it is never too early. For example, babies who start eating healthy in the first year are more likely to have better overall health as they get older. Which one of the following is the CORRECT logical inference based on the information in the above passage?
Logical Inference on Healthy Eating Start Time
The passage emphasizes the importance of healthy eating for healthy aging and states, "it is never too early" to start. It highlights that babies who begin healthy eating in their first year show better future health.
Analyzing Passage Information
- Key Point 1: Healthy eating is crucial for healthy aging.
- Key Point 2: There is no age limit to start healthy eating; it's beneficial to begin as early as possible.
- Example: Starting healthy eating in infancy leads to better long-term health.
Evaluating the Options
- Option 1: "Healthy eating is important for those with good health conditions, but not for others" - This contradicts the passage's general tone suggesting benefits for all, not just the currently healthy.
- Option 2: "Eating healthy can be started at any age, earlier the better" - This statement directly aligns with the passage's assertion "it is never too early" and the example provided about starting in the first year.
- Option 3: "Eating healthy and better overall health are more correlated at a young age, but not older age" - The passage stresses the benefit of starting early but doesn't claim the correlation *decreases* with age or is non-existent in older individuals.
- Option 4: "Healthy eating is more important for adults than kids" - The passage uses children as a primary example of early benefits, not suggesting adults are more important. It emphasizes the advantage of starting young.
Conclusion
Based on the passage stating "it is never too early" and providing an example of infant benefits, the most logical inference is that healthy eating can commence at any point, with earlier starts being preferable.

Based on the given passage, which of the following can be inferred?The information contained in DNA is used to synthesize proteins that are necessary for the functioning of life. DNA is composed of four nucleotides: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G). The information contained in DNA can then be thought of as a sequence of these four nucleotides: A, T, C, and G. DNA has coding and non-coding regions. Coding regions—where the sequence of these nucleotides are read in groups of three to produce individual amino acids—constitute only about 2% of human DNA. For example, the triplet of nucleotides CCG codes for the amino acid glycine, while the triplet GGA codes for the amino acid proline. Multiple amino acids are then assembled to form a protein.
Based only on the information provided above, which of the following statements can be logically inferred with certainty?
(i) The majority of human DNA has no role in the synthesis of proteins.
(ii) The function of about 98% of human DNA is not understood.The World Bank has declared that it does not plan to offer new financing to Sri Lanka, which is battling its worst economic crisis in decades, until the country has an adequate macroeconomic policy framework in place. In a statement, the World Bank said Sri Lanka needed to adopt structural reforms that focus on economic stabilisation and tackle the root causes of its crisis. The latter has starved it of foreign exchange and led to shortages of food, fuel, and medicines. The bank is repurposing resources under existing loans to help alleviate shortages of essential items such as medicine, cooking gas, fertiliser, meals for children, and cash for vulnerable households.
