Question

All good athletes who want to win are disciplined and have a well balanced diet. Therefore, athletes who do not have well balanced diets are bad athletes. Based on the sentence above which of the statement below strongly supports the view :

• A. No bad athlete wants to win.
• B. No athlete who does not eat a well balanced diet is good athlete.
• C. Every athlete who eats a well balanced diet is good athlete.
• D. All athletes who want to win are good athletes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine which statement strongly supports the given argument, we must analyze the logical structure of the premise provided: "All good athletes who want to win are disciplined and have a well-balanced diet." From this statement, we can infer several important points:

• If an athlete is good and wants to win, then they must be disciplined and follow a well-balanced diet.
• Conversely, if an athlete does not have a well-balanced diet, they cannot be classified as good athletes who want to win, according to the premise.

Based on this reasoning, let's examine the options:

1. No bad athlete wants to win. - This statement does not directly relate to having a well-balanced diet.
2. No athlete who does not eat a well-balanced diet is a good athlete. - This aligns with the premise, as lacking a well-balanced diet indicates the athlete cannot be categorized as good.
3. Every athlete who eats a well-balanced diet is a good athlete. - This cannot be inferred from the premise since having a well-balanced diet alone does not ensure that an athlete is good.
4. All athletes who want to win are good athletes. - This does not directly relate to the concept of a well-balanced diet and adds no additional support to the given argument.

Therefore, the statement "No athlete who does not eat a well-balanced diet is a good athlete." strongly supports the view provided in the premise.
