Question

Which of the following can the reader infer from this passage?

Drinking from certain plastic water bottles could be harmful for the body.

Ten percent of the foods tested did not contain any levels of BPA.

Eating refried beans from a can is safer than touching printer ink.

Canned vegetables and fruits contain less BPA than canned soups

Answer 1

The chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) has been linked to diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and obesity. BPA has been found in a wide range of products, from the linings in metal cans to some plastic water bottles to printer ink. New studies show that canned foods may contain dangerous levels of BPA. In one study, scientists tested 50 canned foods which included brand name fish, fruits, vegetables, beans, soups, sodas, and milk obtained in both the U.S. and Canada. Their tests showed that BPA was found in 92% of the foods they tested. They also noted that BPA levels can be different between cans of the same product and same brand.

Answer 18

In one study, scientists tested 50 canned foods which included brand name fish, fruits, vegetables, beans, soups, sodas, and milk obtained in both the U.S. and Canada. Their tests showed that BPA was found in 92% of the foods they tested.

If their test showed 92 percent, then it wouldn't show 10 percent.

Answer 19

So B would be right.

Answer 20

Yep, B.

Answer 21

"They also noted that BPA levels can be different between cans of the same product and same brand."

The catch is that B is only a part of the given paragraph, I think it would be A because that sort of tells you the main point of the whole paragraph.

That's the confusing part though. D would make the most sense, but it's not correct.
