GMAT Verbal Reasoning Practice Test 1

Anuj’s plan of action is based on the assumption that he will have the same success with the diet pill as his acquaintances. In order for this to be true, however, a must also be true – he must have a similar body type, exercise regimen, and diet. If, for example, he does not exercise but those people who lost weight with the pill did, he might not have the same results. Anuj may have to avoid certain foods (choice B) or take the pill at the same time each day (choice C) in order for it to be most effective, but these assumptions do not underlie his belief that he will have the same results as the others. Choice D is incorrect because the passage does not state what sort of diet the others had, and again this plan of action rests upon the assumption that he will have similar results. Anuj should probably monitor his weight loss carefully (choice E), but this is just common sense and not relevant to his plan of action.
