41) The average normal infant born in the United States weighs between twelve and fourteen pounds at the age of three months. Therefore, if a three-month-old child weighs only ten pounds, its weight gain has been below the United States average.

Which of the following indicates a flaw in the reasoning above?

1. The phrase "below average" does not necessarily mean insufficient.
2. Average weight gain is not the same as average weight.
3. Some three-month old children weigh as much as seventeen pounds.
4. It is possible for a normal child to weigh ten pounds at birth.
5. Weight is only one measure of normal infant development.
