Since this question has not been added, I thought I would post it and my reasoning for the answer choices. Feel free to add on or critique as needed. Thanks!

This is a Must Be True question. The correct answer is (E).

(E) Sums up the three factors in the stimulus and infers these as a "lifestyle" that can be changed to manipulate heart disease risk.

Incorrect answers:

(A) Too strong of an inference and more of a shell game answer
(B) Stimulus doesn't address the quantity of smoking or any other factor for that matter
(C) Stimulus makes no mention of one's diet and is very exaggerated
(D) Too strong of a statement and only addresses one factor rather than all three

DesignLaw,

That's a good analysis. I would say:

(A) Stimulus says lower, not low (basically the same)
(B) same.
(C) same, more focus on no mention of diet.
(D) stimulus says one thing smoking does is influence cholesterol, doesn't say it doesn't do other things that affect the heart (this one is fairly different)
