Which of the following can be properly inferred from the passage?

(A) An increasing number of households rely on a highly standardized diet.

(B) The less standardized a household’s diet is, the more nonfood waste the household discards.

(C) The less standardized a household’s diet is, the smaller is the proportion of fresh produce in the household’s food waste.

(D) The less standardized a household’s diet is, the more canned and prepackaged foods the household discards as waste.（C）

(E) The more fresh produce a household buys, the more fresh produce it throws away.

不是很明白文中的两个数量关系

请问第一句"discards less food the more standardized—made up of canned and prepackaged foods—its diet is"指的是什么们呢？food越standardize, 丢的food越少？

第二个是food 越Standardize，fresh produce丢的就越多

为什么答案是C呢。如果以上两个理解正确的话，less standardize推出less fresh produce，但是能否推出food waster就增加呢？如果不能的话，为什么C 对呢？

谢谢，脑子已经不转了

搭车同问

另外再想问一下，—made up of canned and prepackaged foods—到底算修饰food还是 the more standardized its diet呢？如果是修饰前者，那么这句话就是说discards less canned and prepackaged foods，若不是，就是discards less （total） food。

觉得C和D都蛮对的

发现：a household 如果他们的diet more standardized，他们扔较少的食物。如果a

household's diet越是standardized，他们扔的fresh produce的数量就越多。
C.如果a household's diet 的standardized成分越少，那么扔的fresh produce比例则越少。

＝＝＝等于把文中最后一句话换了个说法。

D. 如果a household's diet 的standardized成分越少，canned and prepackaged foods就扔

的越多。 food the more standardized—made up of canned and prepackaged foods，

canned and prepackaged foods就是等于standardized food. standardized的食物越少，标准

化食物扔的越多。从原文无法得到这个意思啊。

C is right.

文中最后一句为什么不是比例呢？the more....., the greater, 前面的变多，后面跟着

变大；内在就存在一个比例啊。

 其实个人觉得C还是没法推出的，尽管C比较其他选项来讲最好。

因为题干中最后一句讲的是quantity，而非proportion。Less standardized, less quantity was thown away (not necessarily means that smaller portion of food is thrown away).
