Answer:
Weaknesses in Findings of Study on Milk Chocolate and CNS-related Illnesses
Introduction:
The statement reports a recent study that claims intake of moderate quantity of milk chocolate reduces the risk of suffering from central nervous system (CNS)-related illnesses. However, the question asks which of the given options would weaken the findings of the study. Let us analyze each option:
Option B:
Majority of those not diagnosed with diseases related to central nervous system have stayed away from eating chocolates in their lives.
Explanation:
This option suggests that people who have not eaten chocolates have not been diagnosed with CNS-related illnesses. This implies that there might be a correlation between not eating chocolates and not suffering from CNS-related illnesses. Therefore, the study's findings of the protective effect of milk chocolate on CNS-related illnesses could be challenged by this option.
Other options:
a) People generally prefer to eat chocolate when they are young.
This option suggests a general trend in chocolate consumption among people. However, it does not weaken the findings of the study.
c) Chocolates contain certain elements which strengthen the functions of the central nervous system.
This option supports the study's findings and does not weaken them.
d) Majority of those suffering from central nervous system related diseases are middle-aged.
This option provides demographic information about those suffering from CNS-related illnesses. However, it does not weaken the findings of the study.
Conclusion:
Option B weakens the findings of the study reported in the statement by suggesting an alternative correlation between not eating chocolates and not suffering from CNS-related illnesses. Therefore, it is the correct answer.
