2. Substances with similar scents often have vastly different molecular structures. The scents of marzipan and cyanide, for example, both contain strong hints of almond.  The molecular structures of the substances, however, make them appropriate for nearly opposite uses: marzipan is often found in gourmet desserts, and cyanide is a powerful poison.

Which of the following conclusions can most reasonably be drawn from information in the passage above?

(A)       Molecular structures of substances with similar scents are always vastly different.

(B)       Molecular structures of unknown substances can often be predicted based on their scents.

(C)       Scents of unknown substances cannot be predicted accurately based only on their molecular structure.

(D)       Scents of poisonous substances are usually similar to scents of non-poisonous foods.

(E)       Marzipan and cyanide have similar scents, and can therefore be assumed to contain similar elements.
