Online Course Support | Think Again I: How to Understand Arguments

Which of the following sentences could be added as a suppressed premise to make this argument valid?

 
 
Correct

ANSWER: (iii) Joe is a farmer.

This answer is the only one that makes the argument valid. The answers that are about what farmers raise are irrelevant to what they eat. The answer that Joe is not a farmer leaves open the possibility that everybody who is a farmer likes steak, even if Joe does not like steak.
