Logical reasoning PrepTest 155 · Section 2 · Question 18

Incorrect. While the stimulus does lend itself to comparing cancer cells and fat cells (since these drugs impact both), it doesn't compare anything to other cells in the body, so this answer is out of scope.

Incorrect. The stimulus is about preventing obesity, not reversing it, so this answer is out of scope.

Correct. Argument or Facts:
Facts

Question Type:
Must Be True

Stimulus Summary:
Some cancer meds work by stopping angiogenesis, the growing of blood vessels. These drugs also prevent obesity in rats.

Answer Anticipation:
The stimulus seems to be leading to a connection between angiogenesis and obesity, so answers that mention those two areas should be carefully considered.

Answer Explanation:
This answer connects angiogenesis with obesity (through fat tissue). Since we know the drugs combat cancer through inhibiting angiogenesis, and it also prevents obesity, there's enough information to draw this inference.

Key Takeaway:
When there's a science-y stimulus, be careful with the answers. There are frequently small language shifts that make them out of scope. Here, losing weight vs. preventing obesity, and obesity vs. nutrients, are concepts that are related but not the same, so those answers are out of scope.

Incorrect. There's no mention of rodents with cancer in the stimulus, so this answer is out of scope.

Incorrect. The stimulus talks about obesity, not nutrients, and there's no information that would allow us to draw a connection between the two, so this is out of scope.
