PrepTest 24, Section 2, Question 1

Difficulty:

Press release: A comprehensive review evaluating the medical studies done up to the present time has found no reason to think that drinking coffee in normal amounts harms the coffee-drinker's heart. So coffee drinkers can relax and enjoy their beverage�it is safe to drink coffee.

Question

Which one of the following points to a weakness in the reasoning in the press release's argument?

The review was only an evaluation of studies and did not itself undertake to study patients.

The health of the heart is not identical with the general health of the body.

Coffee drinkers might choose to eat, along with their coffee, foods containing substances that harm the heart.

Other beverages besides coffee might contain stimulants that have some effect on the heart.

Drinking unusually large amounts of coffee could be caused by stress that itself directly harms the heart.
