Based on past results, one would predict that women who win the miss america pageant in the future will: a. be larger than those who lose. b. have larger chests, but smaller hips than current winners. c. be about a pound heavier than the previous year's winner. d. be smaller than those who lose.

The correct answer is letter "D": be smaller than those who lose.

Explanation:

It is widely known that eating disorders are a common topic among most heavy-set people or participants on weight-loss reality TV shows. The main issue in those cases is the importance they give to other's opinions about their physical appearance. Usually, young women who are worried about looking attractive to others are prone to fall into deeper health problems such as bulimia or even anorexia.  

That is why it is more likely that future Miss American Pageant contestants will be smaller in size because in their minds that means being "better-looking".
