Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: People should be given information when it's hard to figure out on their own. Since people want to save energy but can't tell how much energy went into making a product, we should probably give them that data.

Reasoning: There is a general principle that consumers should receive information when it is hard to find, as seen with nutritional labeling on food products.

Analysis: This stimulus sets up a pattern and asks us to complete the final step. It establishes a rule (provide info for difficult decisions) and an example (food labels), then presents a new problem (energy use in manufacturing). To logically complete the argument, we need a solution that mirrors the food example. It’s the consumer-rights version of 'if it worked for calories, it should work for kilowatts.' Look for an answer that suggests requiring manufacturers to provide energy-consumption information on their product packaging.
