Confused...
On question 14, you mention that "they dont mention obesity anywhere so that can't be the answer" ... but they also dont mention stress anywhere?? I'm confused as to why that's okay but the "obesity" is not if they're both not mentioned.

@Ceci and @sigmajonez14,
Happy to help. Let's take a look at (A) and (B).
(A) says, "Stress induces both snoring and smoking in certain individuals."
(A) provides an alternative cause for both snoring and smoking. In doing so, (A) weakens the argument in the stimulus because the argument is claiming that smoking is causing the snoring, and (A) is saying that something else is causing both. Thus, (A) is correct.
(B) says, "Obesity induces many individuals to smoke."
(B) does provide us with an alternative cause, but we don't know anything about the composition of the two groups. Maybe there are lots of obese people in both groups. Also, the word "many" could just mean one person, so (B)'s language is very weak and could mean that there really isn't an alternative cause for smoking. Thus, we can get rid of this choice.
Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any other questions!
