### Food Preferences of US Immigrants | Preference | 1st generation immigrants | 2nd generation immigrants | | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | | no specific preference | 12% | 11% | | Asian cuisine | 15% | 7% | | Food originated from the migration country | 57% | 43% | | Local cuisine | 16% | 39% | Which one of the following conclusions is best supported by the data given above? A. There are more than twice the people that prefer local cuisine amongst 2nd generation immigrants, comparing to 1st generation immigrants. B. If food preferences imply tendency for cultural blend, then 2nd generation immigrants are likely to blend into the local culture. C. Compared to their parents, more than half of the children of immigrants from Asia have changed their food preferences. D. Younger immigrants have a greater preference for the local cuisine. E. It takes about 25 years (a full generation) for a person to change his food preferences. The conclusion that is best supported by the data provided is **D. Younger immigrants have a greater preference for the local cuisine.** The data shows that the percentage of 2nd-generation immigrants who prefer local cuisine is higher than the percentage of 1st-generation immigrants who prefer local cuisine. This implies that younger immigrants have a higher preference for local cuisine, compared to their parents. The other choices are not supported by the data. The data does not provide enough information to make a conclusion about the number of people who prefer local cuisine in the two generations, or about the time it takes for a person to change their food preferences, or about immigrants from Asia specifically.
