Question

The end result of this certification process is food on supermarket shelves with three very specific labels. “100% Organic” is a label given to products that are made entirely of organic ingredients. “Organic” describes foodstuffs with at least 95% organic ingredients. “Made with Organic Ingredients” is used for food containing at least 70% organic ingredients. There are also very specific restrictions on the remaining 30% of ingredients for food bearing that label. How does paragraph 4 help develop the central idea of the passage?

A.
by refuting advertisers' claims that "organic" is a meaningless term

B.
by showing how organic labels are more specific than advertising buzzwords

C.
by emphasizing one way in which organic food is worth the extra cost

D.
by explaining how organic foods are more nutritious than conventional ones

Answer 1

B

Paragraph 4 gives precise definitions and percentages for each organic label, showing that the terms are specific and regulated rather than vague advertising buzzwords.
