Question: 1 / 575

The claim that humans are still biologically adapted to a diet of wild foods plays which one of the following roles in the nutritionist's argument?

Counterargument

Evidence

Conclusion

Assumption

In this argument, the claim that humans are still biologically adapted to a diet of wild foods serves as an assumption. The nutritionist assumes that our biological adaptation to a diet of wild foods is relevant to the discussion about modern diets and health. This assumption underlies the nutritionist's recommendation to closely mimic a wild diet in order to improve health. The claim supports the nutritionist's conclusion by providing a foundational belief upon which the argument is built.

Option A is incorrect as the claim is not presented as a counterargument, but rather as a foundational belief in support of the nutritionist's recommendation. Option B is also incorrect because while the claim may serve as supporting evidence for the nutritionist's argument, it is more fundamental than just evidence. Option C is incorrect because the claim is not the ultimate conclusion of the argument itself; rather, it is a key assumption leading to the conclusion.
