Helr-SC-001

Although the investigation that people who were taking the statins were more likely to report lower overall energy and more fatigue with exertion than those who had been randomized to the placebo will need to be replicated in larger trials, doctors and patients should be reminded that weighing the pros and cons of starting on statins is important.

A. will need to be replicated in larger trials, doctors and patients should be reminded that weighing the pros and cons of starting on statins is important.
B. will need to be replicated in larger trials, it should remind doctors and patients that it is important to weigh the pros and cons of starting on statins.
C. needs to be replicated in larger trials, it should remind doctors and patients of weighing the importance on the pros and cons of starting on statins.
D. can be replicated in larger trials, doctors and patients should be reminded and should weigh the importance on pros and cons of starting on statins.
E. can be replicated in larger trials, when doctors and patients start to use statins, they should be reminded to weigh the importance of pros and cons.

解体原则应尊重原本题目的意思。
will need to be replicated in larger trials 和 can be replicated in larger trials意思还是有不小差别的。
1. 尽管关于 吃了抑制剂的人比吃了安慰剂的人更倾向于报告说自己变得更衰 的调查 在将来还需要在更多的实例中求得印证，但是这种调查提醒了医生和病人权衡使用抑制剂利弊的重要性。
2. 尽管关于 吃了抑制剂的人比吃了安慰剂的人更倾向于报告说自己变得更衰 的调查 可以在更多的实例中得到印证，医生和病人应该被提醒和权衡使用抑制剂的利和弊。
显然前者逻辑意思上更加合理。排除CDE。

weighing the pros and cons 和 weighing the importance of（on） pros and cons 意义也差别明显。weighing the pros and cons 符合习惯而且逻辑意义明确。后者则让人不知所云。排除CDE.

区分AB:
1. doctors and patients should be reminded 被动语态，awkward.
2. Th e -ing form of a verb can be used as a noun (e.g., running is her favorite sport), but it is often awkward....quoting from OG12 SC24.
所以排除A项。

我的答案选B。
欢迎指正，仅供参考。
**************************************************************************************
**************************************************************************************
although 意思：虽然尽管然而即使
用法：1. although较正式，语气强
  Although he was tired, he went on working.
2. although引导的从句放在主句前后均可，有时还可放在句中。
  Although many difficulties are still ahead, we are determined to make greater achievements. 尽管在前面的道路上还有许多困难，但是，我们决心要取得更大的成就。
  He often helps me with my English although he is quite busy. 尽管他相当忙，但是还常常帮我学英语。
3. although引导的从句不能与but, however连用，但可与yet, still连用。不能说：Although he was old, but he worked hard. 应把but去掉。当然，保留but而去Although也可。
注意:although 的几不:
although不能指假设的情况
although不能作并列连词  
although不能作副词，放在词尾

关于前后内容的联系，我决定以后要留个心。谢谢helr老师~

我认为，这个句子，最大的困难点，不在于主动好还是被动好，而是如何能让两个半句间形成转折。 凡是出现although类的关系，一定要着眼于前后两个半句直接的关系，如果逻辑关系不清楚，在推理上绝对是存在问题的。我举个中文的例子。


“虽然有学生猝死在课堂这个事件还没有调查清楚，但是学生们还是应该被提醒注意劳逸结合”。 这个句子意思完全说的通对吧？ 但是在推理上是行不通的。不论学生们应该被谁提醒注意什么，都应该是有猝死这件事情而引发的。那么，如果不声明清楚这个问题，前后句子我就可以几乎认为没有什么关系，自然也就形不成转折关系。即： “猝死课堂” 和 “劳逸结合”其实本身并没有什么必然的关系，我们如果想说清楚这两者之间的转折关系，就必须把事什么引发了劳逸结合这件事情说清楚。  Hope that helps~

嗯 我认为helr老师提出的“直接联系”的确是值得注意的一点。

但是也应该看到，这个规律会有意外。比如，"尽管没有刮起东风，周瑜还是打败了曹操" "尽管生命接近了终点，我也不会放弃学习"（好吧，我夸张一下==）
这些也能成立，虽然和推理学并不完全相符。（我猜测ghelr的这个idea来源于推理学？）
也许是因为其中暗含了一些普遍公认的assumption。具体未知。
但是值得注意一点，如果举的出反例，那么在logic上就算是成功weaken了。所以我觉得这算是个conditional rule.

我想这题之所以会引发争议，在于A有弱点、B也有弱点，所以在取舍上体现了不同人的偏好。作为出题者来说，我会持续改进原题，尽量避免ambiguous的分歧。
如果B将should改为could remind or could still remind or still reminds，我想B就完胜。因为B这个时候完全无误，但是A仍然还算有弱点。可是作为GMAT的出题风格，我打算在A的原有基础上再加一些别的错误点，让一个选项不因为唯一的理由被排除。

下面是我希望将B的should改为still reminds（看下来still does最好）的理由：
Although A is not good enough, it should do something.
Although A is not good enough, it could (still) do something.
Although A is not good enough, it still does something.

As A is the best, it should do something.
这些句子比较一下呢？^^ 个人观点，可以继续探讨~

umm..我个人不太同意这个说法。
咱们来看一下你造的这两个句子。 “尽管没有刮起东风，周瑜还是打败了曹操”  这个句子其实是不对的。东风和周瑜曹操没有任何联系，你认为有联系，是因为你看过三国演义。但是世界上有很多人没有看过三国演义，所以这个句子不能形成转折。不过，我同意你的common assumption的观点。 比如这句，While the cost of running nuclear plants is about the same as for other types of power plants, the fixed costs that stem from building nuclear plants make the electricity they generate more expensive.    这个是og13版的第107题。 两个cost就可以形成转折，但是前提是，这确实是一个common assumption。 同样的，生命终点那个，也需要明确的加入转折。
作为出题来说，我会考虑你的建议哈~  不过我始终认为，其实这道题目没有什么争议，因为转折的前后两者，关系如果不声明，其实并不明确（不是common assumption）
