A study of twenty overweight men revealed that each man experienced significant weight loss after adding SlimDown, an artificial food supplement, to his daily diet. For three months, each man consumed one SlimDown portion every morning after exercising, and then followed his normal diet for the rest of the day. Clearly, anyone who consumes one portion of SlimDown every day for at least three months will lose weight and will look and feel his or her best.

Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

Try to prephrase an answer.

Choose an answer.

The men in the study will gain back the weight they lost if they discontinue the SlimDown program.
No other dietary supplement will have the same effect on overweight men.
The daily exercise regimen was not responsible for the effects noted in the study.
Women will not experience similar weight reductions if they adhere to the SlimDown program for three months.
Overweight men will achieve only partial weight loss if they do not remain on the SlimDown program for a full three months.
