How does the author’s conclusion of the following passage contribute to the overall meaning of the passage.

“The average person eats about three pounds of food a day, 1,095 pounds a year. By the time you blow out the candles on your 70th birthday cake, you will have eaten 33 tons of food, or a pile about the size of six elephants. You will have pooped a pile about the size of a car!”


A. The line exaggerates how much someone will eat by the time they turn 70.

B. The line suggests that people will be the size of a car.


C. The line provides a figurative example of how much waste people produce.

D. The line discusses the energy it takes to eat 33 tons of food.
