Question

What dessert comes with a kids' meal?

a) Chocolate cake
b) Fruit salad
c) Ice cream
d) No dessert

Answer 1

The argument provided is flawed. Although all desserts are sweet foods and some sweet foods are low fat, it doesn't follow that all desserts are low fat; the conclusion does not logically follow from the premises.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question posed appears to be part of a logic exercise, rather than a question with a definitive answer regarding actual kids' meal options. The student is provided with an argument that states:

1. All desserts are sweet foods.
2. Some sweet foods are low fat.
3. So all desserts are low fat.

This argument is an example of a logical fallacy because the conclusion does not logically follow from the premises given. The fact that some sweet foods are low fat does not mean that all desserts are low fat, as 'desserts' form a subset of 'sweet foods' and only some of the larger set is low fat. Therefore, without additional information about the specific nutritional content of each dessert, the argument is flawed.
