Standard aluminum soft-drink cans do not vary in the amount of aluminum that they contain. Fifty percent of the aluminum contained in a certain group (M) of standard aluminum soft-drink cans was recycled from another group (L) of used, standard aluminum softdrink cans. Since all the cans in L were recycled into cans in M and since the amount of material other than aluminum in an aluminum can is negligible, it follows that M contains twice as many cans as L. The conclusion of the argument follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?
A: The aluminum in the cans of M cannot be recycled further.
B: None of the soft-drink cans in group L had been made from recycled aluminum.
C: Aluminum soft-drink cans are more easily recycled than are soft-drink cans made from other materials.
D: All of the aluminum in an aluminum can is recovered when the can is recycled.
Choose A, B, C or D as your solution.
