Question

joyce and linda are identical twins who are 50 years old and enjoy exercising daily. joyce avoids eating any dairy or animal products and eats granola made with canola oil for breakfast. linda prefers rich foods, and eats bacon, eggs and buttered toast each morning. which statement describes a logical inference that can be made from the provided information? butter has higher levels of saturated fats in it than canola oil. linda and joyce both have high levels of \bad\ cholesterol. butter contains a small amount of polyunsaturated fats. linda has a higher level of \bad\ cholesterol than joyce.

Explanation:

We know that saturated fats are linked to higher "bad" cholesterol levels. Linda eats bacon (from animal products) and prefers rich foods, which likely contain more saturated fats compared to Joyce who has a breakfast with canola - oil based granola and avoids dairy. From the table, butter and lard have high saturated fat content. Since Linda's diet is more likely rich in saturated - fat sources, a logical inference is that Linda has higher levels of saturated fats in her diet than Joyce.

Answer:

Linda has higher levels of saturated fats in it than canola oil.
