GATE Civil 2022 Set 1 | GA Question: 6

Question

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?

• A. Healthy eating is important for those with good health conditions, but not for others
• B. Eating healthy can be started at any age, earlier the better
• C. Eating healthy and better overall health are more correlated at a young age, but not older age
• D. Healthy eating is more important for adults than kids

Answer 1

The passage explicitly states that it is never too early to start eating healthy; even babies who start eating healthy in the first year are more likely to have better overall health as they age. This suggests that individuals of all ages can experience the benefits of healthy eating, and starting early can positively impact health as one age.

Therefore, the logical inference is that healthy eating can be initiated at any age, and the earlier one adopts healthy eating habits, the better it is for their overall health as one age.

Correct Answer: B
