Medical education in the United States has focused almost exclusively on curative medicine, while preventive care has been given scant attention. This is misguided. Medical schools should invest as much time in teaching their students how to prevent illness as in teaching them how to cure it.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument above?

(A) Many contagious diseases can be prevented with vaccines.

(B) In 1988, for every three cents the United States spent on prevention, it spent 97 cents on curative treatment.

(C) The number of students enrolled in medical school is the highest it has ever been.

(D) More people die each year from disease than from accidental causes.

(E) As the population grows, the number of doctors in certain specialties has not been keeping pace.

The conclusion is that medical schools are misguided. The basis for this claim is that they pay little attention to preventive medicine. The argument would be made stronger by a statement concerning the benefits of preventive medicine.

(A) CORRECT. Vaccines are a type of preventive medicine that have known benefits, i.e., preventing contagious diseases.

(B) This statement supports the idea that the more time and money are spent on curative medicine than on preventive medicine. However, it does not speak to the benefits of preventive medicine.

(C) The number of students enrolled in medical school has nothing to do with the benefits of preventive medicine.

(D) Accidental causes have nothing to do with the benefits of preventive medicine.

(E) The number of doctors in certain specialties has nothing to do with the benefits of preventative medicine.

B reduce the money spending on the health by the government
because it is reduce the infection
hence we have two benefits of prevention one economical second is health
while A it talks about vaccine which not belong to preventive care
(we talk here about practice like cleaning and cocking food in high temperature to kill the worms ,avoiding sugar fat food)

Medical schools should invest as much time in teaching their students how to prevent illness as in teaching them how to cure it.


(A) Many contagious diseases can be prevented with vaccines.

(B) In 1988, for every three cents the United States spent on prevention, it spent 97 cents on curative treatment.

B is just a statistic


Not a huge fan of this question though
