Which statement best describes vegan options on the Earls menu?

• A. Vegan excludes all animal products.
• B. Vegan includes dairy but excludes meat.
• C. Vegetarian excludes meat and dairy but may include eggs.
• D. Dairy-free excludes dairy and gluten.

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is what “vegan” means on a menu. Vegan options are defined by containing no animal products at all—no meat, no dairy, no eggs, and no other animal-derived ingredients. That’s why the statement that vegan excludes all animal products is the best fit for Earls’ vegan offerings.

The other descriptions don’t line up with vegan rules: vegan isn’t about dairy alone or meat alone, so “vegan includes dairy but excludes meat” isn’t correct. A vegetarian option might exclude meat but can include dairy and eggs, which isn’t the universal constraint of vegan. And “dairy-free” targets dairy specifically, not all animal products or the broader vegan standard.
