Q 2304

[DavidS899]

"Gilmore enjoys riding his bike to work, and riding a bike on a regular basis is considered a healthy practice."

Q: We can infer that…

Wrong: Gilmore engages in a healthy practice.
Right: Some healthy practices do not involve the consumption of lean foods.

Why is it wrong to infer that if riding bikes is healthy and Gilmore rides his bike then Gilmore is doing something healthy?

Riding bikes "on a regular basis" is healthy.

Riding bikes (alone) doesn't trigger the idea of healthy.

We'd have to ask ourself, "Do we know if Gilmore rides his bike to work on a regular basis?"

If it said "Gilmore enjoys riding his bike to work each day", then yes.

But the phrasing we have is ambiguous. He might only ride to work once in a while, and, while doing so, think, "Hey, I enjoy this! I should do this more often. Too bad I live in Pittsburgh where the weather is terrible 6 months out of the year."
