question 38

Essay

Identify the following passage as containing an argument, two arguments, or no argument; if it contains an argument, identify the conclusion(s); and, if it contains two arguments, indicate which argument is the principal argument.
Imagine yourself naked, without weapons, and running after a deer. If you were to catch this deer, how would you eat it? Humans are not equipped with canine teeth in order to eat meat without tools. A carnivore's teeth are long and sharp, and its jaws move up and down. Humans, by contrast, use their molars to crush and grind their food. Have you ever noticed that so many Americans are overweight and unhealthy? That's because they eat meat.
