Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Ken is deciding between making nachos or spaghetti implies that he likes both options. However, if he ultimately decides to make spaghetti, it can be concluded that he believes he will get more satisfaction or utility from having spaghetti for dinner than he would from having nachos. Option A and B are not necessarily true because Ken may still like nachos even if he decides to make spaghetti for dinner. Option D is not true because we have some information about Ken's preferences (i.e. that he likes both nachos and spaghetti).
