Question

Fitness tracking devices often recommend we take 10,000 steps a day. But the goal of taking 10,000 steps, which many of us believe is rooted in science, in fact rests on coincidence and sticky history rather than research. Research suggests use of time, not steps, and suggest we exercise for at least 150 minutes a week, or half an hour most days, in addition to any moving around we do as part of our normal daily lives. Which of the following conclusions can be properly inferred from the passage?

• A. most people walk 10,000 steps but become frustrated when no apparent benefits are noticeable
• B. it is better to measure effort through time rather than number of steps, being a more scientific measure
• C. most people find it difficult to complete 10,000 steps daily
• D. none of the above

Answer: (B)

it is better to measure effort through time rather than number of steps, being a more scientific measure

Answer 2
