Many more people in Pakistan who eat betel nut from local shops develop lung cancer than do those who don’t eat betel nut.

Question:

Many more people in Pakistan who eat betel nut from local shops develop lung cancer than do those who don’t eat betel nut.

In the face of this evidence, how could a betel nut broker argue against the conclusion that betel nut cause lung cancer?

  1. He could argue that many things might cause lung cancer.
  2. He could argue that a single cause may be responsible both for the eating betel nut and for the cancer.
  3. He could argue that people have the right to endanger themselves if they so choose.
  4. He could argue that a single cause may be responsible both for the eating betel nut and for the cancer.
  5. He could argue that people will eat bête nut anyhow, regardless of the evidence.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Even if eating betel nut is correlated with the lung cancer, if it could be established that this very correlation is caused by a single factor responsible both for the betel nut eating and for the cancer, a causal connection between eating betel nut and cancer could no longer be inferred. Choice A is not to the point, since the multiplicity of causes for cancer does not prove that eating betel nut is not of them. Choice D is incorrect since, although it establishes a correlation between breathing and dying, the lack of breathing is also correlated with dying, so that breathing cannot be singled out as a factor in causing death. Choice C and E are irrelevant to the question of causal relation between eating betel nut and lung cancer.
