A seminar room has four identical tables, the shape of each being an isosceles right-angled triangle.
Explanation
The correct answer is C.
A can be divided into 4 isosceles right-angled triangles by drawing a diagonal line from the top left to bottom right corner and another line from the top right to bottom left corner. B can be divided by drawing a line bisecting the triangle through the right angle, and then two more lines from the midpoint of each edge to the point where the base was bisected by the first line drawn. D can be divided by drawing two vertical lines from each of the two upper corners to the base of the trapezium to create a square in the middle of the trapezium, and then drawing a diagonal line across the square to form two more triangles. E can be divided by drawing a horizontal line from the two points of the sides of the arrow to form a square below the line and a triangle above the line, and then splitting the triangle vertically through the midline and the square diagonally. Therefore C is the only shape that cannot be made using 4 right-angled isosceles triangles.
Nutritionists say that we should eat more fruit and vegetables per day and reduce our intake of fat to help prevent major illnesses. As fruit and vegetables are relatively expensive compared to fatty foods, it is unlikely that families on very low incomes will follow this advice. If the government really wants to improve the health of the nation, it will have to consider taxing foods which are high in fat.
Explanation
The correct answer is C.
The main conclusion of the passage is that taxing high content food may lead to a decrease in their consumption. This is strengthened by statement C as it explains that similar measures were imposed on smoking cigarettes which lead to reduced levels of smoking.

How can C not be made from 4 identical triangles? I thought it would be E as in order for it not to be possible to be made, the triangles would have to be of different sizes- hence not identical.
