According to recent studies, people whose diet is unusually high in protein are more likely to suffer from insomnia than people whose diet contains moderate amounts of protein. It is therefore likely that a diet high in protein is a cause, though perhaps not the only cause, of insomnia.
Which of the following, if true, casts the most serious doubt on the conclusion drawn above?
People whose diet is unusually high in protein often have other characteristics in common, some of which are likely to cause insomnia.
Insomniacs who switched from high-protein diets to more moderate levels of protein intake have reported that the change was so unpleasant that it worsened their insomnia.
Diets that are high in protein are often low in foods that help keep the immune system working effectively.
People whose diets are unusually low in protein often experience insomnia.
Some say that an asteroid colliding with Earth was responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. It is indeed likely that such a collision did occur and that it caused the death of the vast majority of dinosaurs. However, new evidence suggests that perhaps tens of thousands of dinosaurs lived far enough from the point of collision that they were not directly killed by the impact or by the drastic change in temperature when immense dust clouds created by the impact blocked the sun. Some other force must have been responsible for the death of these remaining dinosaurs.
Which of the following, if true, is an assumption made by the author of the above argument?
(Post your explanation as well please !)
At least a few dinosaurs continued to exist for some years after the asteroid collided with Earth.
There is another existing theory that does a better job of explaining the extinction of the dinosaurs than the theory involving an asteroid collision with Earth.
The water supply used by the dinosaurs who survived the asteroid collision and subsequent change in global temperature had not become contaminated by lethal fallout from the collision.
The change in temperature caused when dust clouds from the asteroid impact blocked the sun could not have lasted for several years.
