PT7 · S4 · Q4 Our tomato soup provides good

Whether few people depend exclusively on apricots and carrots for vitamin C doesn't directly address whether apricots and carrots are legitimate examples of good nutrition (or at least good sources of vitamin C). In order for us to be impressed by comparing soup to these foods, we would want to know that these foods are high in nutrients. We don't care about the number of people who consume them.

A soup is a liquid, and so this is saying that soup can lose vitamins if it's in contact with air for a long time. But who says soup would ever be in contact with air for a long time? Maybe the intent is that you open up its airtight can, warm it up, and eat it. Also, this has nothing to do with the evidence about apricots and carrots or bragging about the soup's superior vitamin C content.

This answer helps someone argue that soup is nutritious, which is the opposite of our goal. We want to be able to say, "Sure, this soup beats apricots and carrots in terms of vitamin C, but that doesn't mean this soup is nutritious. After all, [answer choice]."

Saying that this soup's vitamin C content loses to that of strawberries is kind of a way to argue that the soup isn't nutritious. This answer is decent, but has less impact than the correct answer (and less relevance to the task of showing how the original evidence was misleading).
