Question

researchers from spain found pedaling on a stationary bike helped people expel gas.
what does the author think about their point of view?
a the author agrees with this because they believe cycling is the best way to help the bloodstream absorb gas.
b the author agrees with it because they think moderate exercise reduces symptoms of pressure and bloating.
c the author disagrees with it because they believe the method used by the researchers led to imprecise results.
d the author disagrees with it because they think people should avoid intense exercise after eating large meals.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The original statement is about expelling gas, not the bloodstream absorbing gas. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: Moderate exercise (like stationary bike pedaling) reducing pressure and bloating symptoms aligns with the idea that pedaling helps expel gas, so the author agreeing makes sense.
• Option C: There's no mention of the researchers' method being imprecise, so C is wrong.
• Option D: The question is about pedaling (a form of moderate exercise) helping expel gas, not intense exercise after large meals, so D is irrelevant.

Answer:

B. The author agrees with it because they think moderate exercise reduces symptoms of pressure and bloating.
