Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
Appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix) is potentially fatal; consequently, patients with symptoms strongly suggesting appendicitis almost have their appendix removed. The appropriate surgery is low-risk but performed unnecessarily in about 20 percent of all cases. A newly developed internal scan for appendicitis is highly accurate, producing two misdiagnoses for every 98 correct diagnoses. Clearly, using this test, doctors can largely avoid unnecessary removals of the appendix without, however, performing any fewer necessary ones than before, since
A. the patients who are correctly diagnosed with this test as not having appendicitis invariably have medical conditions that are much less serious than appendicitis
B. the misdiagnoses produced by this test are always instances of attributing appendicitis to someone who does not, in fact, have it
C. all of the patients who are diagnosed with this test as having appendicitis do, in fact, have appendicitis
D. every patient who is diagnosed with this test as having appendicitis has more than one of the symptoms generally associated with appendicitis
E. the only patients who are misdiagnosed using this test are patients who lack one or more of the symptoms that are generally associated with appendicitis
I got stumped
I will go with B
According to a recent study on financial roles, one-third of high school seniors say that they have significant financial responsibilities. These responsibilities include, but are not limited to, contributing to food, shelter, or clothing for themselves or their families. At the same time, a second study demonstrates that a crisis in money management exists for high school students. According to this study, 80% of high school seniors have never taken a personal finance class even though the same percentage of seniors has opened bank accounts and one-third of these account holders has bounced a check.
Which of the following conclusions can be properly drawn from the statements above?
- High schools would be wise to incorporate personal finance classes into their core curricula.
- At least one-third of high school seniors work part-time jobs after school.
- The number of high school seniors with significant financial responsibilities is greater than the number of seniors who have bounced a check.
- Any high school seniors who contribute to food, shelter, or clothing for themselves or their families have significant financial responsibilities.
- The majority of high school students have no financial responsibilities to their families.
i will go with B
I will go for option A for the above CR
Watz the OA?
why and how plz..??..
Share explanations is possible and I shall share the OA subsequently.. thoda suspense bana ke rakhna chahiye ;)
That kinda did stump me too !!
I'd go for D !!

Watz the OA?
Mcnabb_ISB SaysI will go with B :shock:
Since it has become known that several of a banks top executives have been buying shares in their own bank, the banks depositors, who had been worried by rumors that the bank faced impending financial collapse, have been greatly relieved. They reason that since top executives evidently have faith in the banks financial soundness, those worrisome rumors must be false. They might well be overoptimistic, however since corporate executives have sometimes bought shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to dispel negative rumors about the companys health.
In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
A. The first summarizes the evidence used in the reasoning called into question by the argument; the second states the counterevidence on which the argument relies.
B. The first summarizes the evidence used in the reasoning called into question by the argument; the second is an intermediate conclusion supported by the evidence.
C. The first is an intermediate conclusion that forms part of the reasoning called into question by the argument; the second is evidence that undermines the support for this intermediate conclusion.
D. The first is an intermediate conclusion that forms part of the reasoning called into question by the argument; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.
E. The first is an intermediate conclusion that forms part of the reasoning called into question by the argument; the second states a further conclusion supported by this intermediate conclusion.
is it E? 😐
That kinda did stump me too !!
I'd go for D !!
B/E can not be the answers.
I believe A is right.as it is the only option that tells y fewer surgeries will be done.

As per the question....
Using 'THIS' test, doctors can.... ..performing 'ANY FEWER NECESSARY ONES' than before,...
Here 'ANY FEWER NECESSARY ONES' refers to the other tests which are conducted to check for the disease...
Now we have to find an answer option which can state that.. such 'other' tests are not required.
As per option B..the cases which are misdiagnosed.. infact are found not to have the disease.
So B feels best to me.

I'd go for D !!
A cant be cuz the patients having other conditions is not the issue
C cannot be the answer
To eliminate E, say that a patient is misdiagnosed, but shows one symptom and using the scanner the doctor decides to not operate .. here the possibility of a surgery itself is eliminated, not the possibility of unnecessary surgery.
that leaves us with B and D
D felt a little more reasonable to me
Say that they donot have any other symptoms, and they are diagnosed as having no problem, so they wouldnot need a surgery.
If they were diagnosed as having appendicitis and showed no symptoms, u cud go ahead with the surgery(the few cases that cannot be avoided , if, the patient has no appendicitis)
If they were diagnosed as not having appendicitis , and they showed symptoms, u cud go ahead with the surgery.
Therefore I chose D
Now for the OA please !!

I think the answer is B
Judging by what kind of misdiagnoses per 100 tests is to be considered. Here we can afford 2 cases out of 100 to be misdiagnosed but as having appendicitis instead of not having it, because the other way round it proves fatal. You can choose having the low risk surgery instead of dying because of a doubt! you wanna be on the safe side while trusting this test.
( I recently have taken a vaccination basing on a doubt 😉 , I knw i'm right, right? )
A: Reason is not supportive of the argument
C: Same as A also goes against whats given
D: Same as A
E: Same as A for opposite reasons

The first one is clearly an intermediate conclusion so A, B are out. Second statement is not evidence and it definitely does not support the first one. Hence D

good number of responses.. with very few matching opinions...
the OA is option A. I dunno if anyone got this right.. but if you did, then plz share an explanation.. 😉

(B) personal computers cost more the more user-friendly they are
(C) currently available models are user-friendly enough to suit them
(D) the people promoting personal computers use them in their own homes
