Conc: If our students start drinking more soft drinks, they will be less healthy. (Remember it's a conditional in the conclusion)
(A) If the soft drink vending machines were placed in the cafeteria, students would consume more soft drinks as a result - Would the student's consume more soda because the vending machines are newly installed in the cafeteria? The logical implication being if they consume more soft drinks, they will be less healthy as a result. Negating the option - breaks the conclusion, i.e., consuming more soft drinks and thereby being less healthy.Keep
(B) The amount of soft drinks that most students at the school currently drink is not detrimental to their health. Do students drink detrimental amount of soda at school? Now this could factor in the decision to install vending machines in the cafeteria, but isn't a necessary assumption for the conclusion above. They could be drinking unhealthy amounts or not, however, drinking more can always lead to poorer health.
