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.
说实在的……在这做题的很多人都不会分析题目。这题本质上是一个控制变量的考点。
观点:开新抗生素比开旧抗生素复发的几率小
论据:旧药一个疗程七天,但很多人都只吃三天,所以容易复发;新药一个疗程三天
逻辑漏洞:虽然新药一个疗程是三天,但是病人吃几天呢?如果吃的比三天少,就不能和旧药的吃三天的情况比较。所以要控制变量,两种药都吃三天,它们的疗效才有可比性。
可是原文不是说旧药只吃三天容易复发吗,选项中却说旧药吃三天可以fully recover...?
E选项这句话增强的意思是:增强了人们吃药只吃三天的习惯性思维,因为人们都有这样的思维,所以新药应该管用。
feel fully recovered...主观认为吃三天就能好
