    This week a controversial chef is urging the great British public to sample a fabulous new But instead of a buying bonanza the chef’s comments have provoked outrage because the meat in question is horse. Even the staunchest meat-eaters are up in arms. Says a rival chef: ‘I would never eat horse meat and would never serve it to my customers. It’s not part of our food culture. It’s unthinkable.’ But aren’t we being just the teeniest bit irrational? After all, in France and Belgium, two of our closest neighbours, there are whole shelves of horse meat alongside the beef and chicken. Here we eat lamb and pig, duck, even deer, ostrich and kangaroo. If we eat these, what is logically different about horse? Nothing.

    1. Which one of the following most closely expresses the main conclusion of the above argument?
    • 0
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is D.

    This passage speaks about public opinions on eating horse. The argument overall is that there is no difference between eating other meats to that of horse, however it is still considered controversial in public opinion. Looking at the answer options, A, B and C are all points that are raised in the argument, yet are not conclusions of the passage. E, while is something raised in the text, is only a partial conclusion fro the overall argument. This leaves answer D, which is the correct answer, and distinguishable from answer E by using the therefore test.
