The tulu, a popular ornamental plant, does not reproduce naturally, and is only bred and sold by specialized horticultural companies. Unfortunately, the tulu is easily devastated by a contagious fungal rot. The government ministry plans to reassure worried gardeners by requiring all tulu plants to be tested for fungal rot before being sold. However, infected plants less than 30 weeks old have generally not built up enough fungal rot in their systems to be detected reliably. And many tulu plants are sold before they are 24 weeks old.
Which of the following, if performed by the ministry, could logically be expected to overcome the problem with their plan to test for the fungal rot?
Couple patients who come to a fertility clinic generally get a prescription for clomiphene, a fertility drug, each time they take a pregnancy test that shows up negative. However, females who test less than 12 days from the date of conception have generally not built up enough hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in their bodies, a sign of pregnancy, to be detected reliably. Many first time patients are impatient and make their decisions to get another costly prescription after negative results from a pregnancy test less than 8 days after conception.
Which of the following, if performed by the fertility clinic, could logically be expected to resolve the potentially costly problem of first time patients paying for an unnecessary second prescription of clomiphene?
(A)
Releasing a general announcement that females less than 12 days from conception cannot be effectively tested for pregnancy
(B)
Requiring all females less than 12 days from conception to have a doctor’s prescription before taking a pregnancy test
(C)
Researching possible ways to test females less than 8 days from conception for pregnancy
(D)
Ensuring that couples do not make their purchase decision before 12 days has passed since conception
(E)
Stopping all females who have been taking fertility drugs for more than 12 months and having them learn more about another pregnancy option called in vitro fertilization (IVF)
谢谢!!我这道题原来选的是A,在OG上找到了一道和它思路是差不多的题目。
