Question 8

Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows:

“People who work in law, hotel and food services, and technology were found the most likely to skip breakfast daily, according to a recent study. As for people who do eat breakfast and prefer a savoury type (like an egg), the study found they tend to make more money, be night owls and prefer cats over dogs. If you prefer a sweet breakfast like a donut you tend to be a morning person, like romcoms and are a dog person”.

Which of the following can be BEST inferred based on the above paragraph?

Solution

The parameters should be comparable to the given statements when comparing any two cases. Option B is incorrect, as a savoury (salty or spicy) breakfast cannot be compared with an early breakfast. Similarly, C is wrong as there is no correlation between making more money and their tendency to eat breakfast regularly. As for option D, the relation between sweet and savoury breakfast is given in the passage. There is no reference to people with an early or late breakfast; Option D is invalidated. As far as E is concerned, again, there is no mention of pet preference directly resulting from the choice of food. In option A, all the relations are directly mentioned in the passage and, hence, is the right option.
