I got stumped

That kinda did stump me too !!

I'd go for D !!

[deepakraam]

I will go for option A for the above CR

Watz the OA?

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?

1. High schools would be wise to incorporate personal finance classes into their core curricula.
2. At least one-third of high school seniors work part-time jobs after school.
3. The number of high school seniors with significant financial responsibilities is greater than the number of seniors who have bounced a check.
4. Any high school seniors who contribute to food, shelter, or clothing for themselves or their families have significant financial responsibilities.
5. The majority of high school students have no financial responsibilities to their families.

i will go with B

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 company’s 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?

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.

I got stumped

I would go with B
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.

That kinda did stump me too !!

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 !!
