Advertisement: For sinus pain, three out of four hospitals give their parients Novex. So when you want the most effective painkiller for sinus pain, Novex is the one to choose.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the advertisement's argument?
A. Some competing brands of painkillers are intended to reduce other kinds of pain in addition to sinus pain.
B. Many hospitals that do not usually use Novex will do so for those patients who cannot tolerate the drug the hospitals usually use.
C. Many drug manufacturers increase sales of their products to hospitals to by selling these products to the hospitals at the lowest price the manufacturers can afford.
D. Unlike some competing brands of painlikkers, Novex is available from pharmacies without a doctor's prescription.
E. In clinical trials Novex has been found to be more effective than competing brands of painkillers that have been on the market longer than Novex.
OG给的答案是C。同一个题,陈向东的书给的答案是D。
大家都说应以OG为准,但我不理解的是:C中说的是 Many drug manufacturers ,始终没提到跟Novex。而问题是关于novex的,怎么会是正确的选项呢?
多谢!
刚打完这个题,就看到了前面有同学先我一步,问的同一题。不过,还没有看到解释为什么C是正确的。OG会不会出错呢?真想给GMAC发个email问问。

这是 Novex的manufacturer在做广告,对于这样的事实For sinus pain, three out of four hospitals give their parients Novex,Novex的manufacturer说是因为Novex是
one of the most effective painkillers
C是说很多manufacturer低价把painkiller卖给医院,让人联想Novex的manufacturer是其一
D说Novex是非处方药.没说 hospital can't give their parients Novex
看了你的说法,我也觉得很迷惑。但是查阅了牛津高阶和新英汉词典以后,我觉得区别可能在这里:
原文说的是hospital,C选项说的也是hospital,而D选项说的是pharmacy.那么hospital和pharmacy到底有没有区别呢?
词典上说,hospital是医院,看病的地方;pharmacy是药店,卖药的地方。因此,在这种意义上,D选项其实是与原文无关的,起不到削弱作用。
可能比较偏激,仅供参考。

hospital 和pharmacy是两个不同的概念,如你所说,一个是医院,一个是药店。在美国,看病拿药与中国概念上、程序上完全不同。医院里的医生只看病,看完后不管是处方药还是非处方,都要去药店(pharmacy)买药。时常有这样的事情发生:医生看完病,在开药时说,我建议你用某某药,在任何药店都有,不用处方。我们很少情况下用处方药,除了抗生素。我感觉美国医生开处方药很谨慎。所以有了这样的经历,真的很容易把D看做正确答案。不选C更主要的原因是它里面没提到novex这个品牌,“大多数制药商”可以包括、也可以不包括novex呀。
这个弯,我还是没转过来。希望你别受我上面那段话太多影响,否则你也迷路了。
补充:又看了一下全题,感觉是在说“医院给病人用药”,而不是“医生给病人开药”。如果是前者,pharmacy似乎有点远了。C更接近issue。至于most manufacturers,或许只能想象novex是其中的case之一吧。
还是要继续体会。

多谢答复。我反复又看了看,觉得有点make sense了。只是靠联想把novex与manufacturer联系起来,有点别扭。
我还是要继续体会这道题。
