How does the first sentence fit within the argument core? I was thrown off because the argument said "But" and I figured that it was a shift so I really didn't pay too much attention to the first sent after that.

I thought the answer was (B) because I thought the argument was assuming that fiber interfered with calcium, and therefore if you could find a answer that says the level of fiber is reduced then you could weaken it.

I initially chose (E), but I eventually went with (C) because I saw the word "contemporary". Is this one of situations where you should just let the stimulus be in the earlier part of the test? In other words, should I give the authors latitude in terms of wording for the first few questio...
