Verified answer: Cannot Say

The evidence

The restaurant serves lunch and dinner. Tables can be booked online. It has a vegetarian menu.

No single sentence settles this one. The verdict rests on what the passage as a whole does — and doesn’t — assert.

What to notice

The passage says there is a vegetarian menu; it says nothing about a vegan menu.

The rule

A vegetarian menu does not entail a vegan one, and the passage does not state it — Cannot Say.

Why not True

What the passage would need to state — and doesn’t.

A vegan menu is not stated, so True reads it in.

Why not False

The statement isn’t contradicted, only unsupported.

Nothing rules a vegan menu out, so False over-claims.
