Question

Which sentence in the section "Mouse Brains On Fat And Sugar" BEST supports the inference that unhealthy diets can affect a mouse's ability to survive?

Answer 1

The fatter mice were just as good at swimming; they just did not find their way to the platform.

Step-by-step explanation:

When they were put in a pool of water and made to find their way by their ability to remember landmarks, the fat mice performed poorly and would have drowned because of the inability of their brains to function well. This was a test of survival.

Without the intervention of the researchers who brought out mice that could not find their way out, they would have drowned. This means that unhealthy diet's can affect a mouse's ability to survive.
