Read the excerpt.

Kale is one of the most nutritious vegetables on Earth.
However, its bitter taste and time-consuming
processing prevented it from becoming a popular snack
food until the kale chip was invented. Kale chips are
just as nutritious as raw kale but are ready to eat and
tastier. Their convenience and trendy marketing have
made them one of the best-selling snack foods. A
similar approach will easily work with any vegetable,
thus making beets the guaranteed next wave in
nutritious snacking. Which choice best explains the effect of the author's
use of a faulty analogy on the overall argument?
O The comparison of kale and beets weakens the
claim that kale is a delicious and nutritious snack.
O The exaggerated excitement about kale discourages
the audience from accepting the claims made about
beets
O The unsubstantiated connection between kale and
beets weakens the credibility of the rest of the
argument
O The reasoning distracts from the strong evidence in
the argument that kale's popularity is well deserved.
