Question : 48 of 100

Marks: +1, -0

The average normal infant born in the United States weighs between twelve and fourteen pounds at the age of three months. Therefore, if a three-month-old child weighs only ten pounds, its weight gain has been below the United States average.

Which of the following indicates a flaw in the reasoning above?

Weight is only one measure of normal infant development.
Some three-month-old children weigh as much as seventeen pounds.
It is possible for a normal child to weigh ten pounds at birth.
The phrase “below average” does not necessarily mean insufficient.
Average weight gain is not the same as average weight.
