这题居然是E！求解释？

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 commo

n 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.

感觉E没啥关联呀，求解释~

E的意思就是强调，说antibiotic对治病是有效的，我感觉这有点像找assumption，其实assumption也是Support的一种嘛...

假设新药病人又好像盘尼西林那样缩短服药期，比如吃了1天就停吃了...也不成呀。所以新药得吃三天才和老药可比。
