The traditional treatment of strep infections has been a seven-day course of antibiotics, either penicillin or erythromycin. However, since many patients stop taking those drugs within three days, reinfection is common in cases where those drugs are prescribed. A new antibiotic requires only a three-day course of treatment. Therefore, reinfection will probably be less common in cases where the new antibiotic is prescribed than in cases where either penicillin or erythromycin is prescribed.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
Some of the people who are allergic to penicillin are likely to be allergic to the new antibiotic.
A course of treatment with the new antibiotic costs about the same as a course of treatment with either penicillin or erythromycin.
The new antibiotic has been shown to be effective in eradicating bacterial infections other than strep.
Some physicians have already begun to prescribe the new antibiotic instead of penicillin or erythromycin for the treatment of some strep infections.
Regardless of whether they take a traditional antibiotic or the new one, most patients feel fully recovered after taking the drug for three days.
这题的陷阱出得很妙!
结论是: Therefore, reinfection will probably be less common in cases where the new antibiotic is prescribed than in cases where either penicillin or erythromycin is prescribed.
(B)(D)讨论的是措施是否可行,而原文的结论是:如措施实可施(in cases where new antibiotic is prescribed),那么实施之后效果如何。
原来是这样。谢谢!
所以根据文中结论,已经都开出去了药。那就跟药价无关了,排除b吧
解释得很好!
