T3-Q13

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 these 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?



A. Some of people who are allergic to penicillin are likely to be allergic to the new antibiotic.

B. A course of treatment with the new antibiotic costs about the same as a course of treatment with either penicillin or erythromycin.

C. The new antibiotic has been shown to be effective in eradicating bacterial infections other than strep.

D. Some physicians have already begun to prescribe the new antibiotic instead of penicillin or erythromycin for the treatment of some strep infections

E. Regardless of whether they take a traditional antibiotic or the new one, most patients feel fully recovered after taking the drug for three days.

这道题为什么选E呢，我觉得c呢有点像答案 但是other than strep

太谢谢你，我明白了，

可是E的意思是说，不管他们是用老药还是新药，大部分病人服药后三天就好了。这个没有突出新药作用啊

most patients feel fully recovered after taking the drug for three days.
是病人自己的感觉，他觉得好了，所以就停止继续吃了，实际上，用老的药，还没好利索，有可能strep infections ，而新的药就不会，因为疗效就是3天。

文章的意思你确定你看懂了？？

以前的药要7天才有效，现在的药3天就可以，结论是新的药会更好。
这里就要考虑以前的药和现在的药的不同点，就是时间点，一个7天，一个3天。所以加强结论，就要找新的药的优点。只有E符合
