Treatment for hypertension forestalls certain medical expenses by preventing strokes and heart disease. Yet any money so saved amounts to only one-fourth of the expenditures required to treat the hypertensive population. Therefore, there is no economic justification for preventive treatment for hypertension.

Which of the following, if true, is most damaging to the conclusion above?

(A) The many fatal strokes and heart attacks resulting from untreated hypertension cause insignificant medical expenditures but large economic losses of other sorts.

(B) The cost, per patient, of preventive treatment for hypertension would remain constant even if such treatment were instituted on a large scale.

(C) In matters of health care, economic considerations should ideally not be dominant.

(D) Effective prevention presupposes early diagnosis, and programs to ensure early diagnosis are costly.

(E) The net savings in medical resources achieved by some preventive health measures are smaller than the net losses attributable to certain other measures of this kind.

105.

If the results of untreated hypertension cause large economic losses, as choice A claims, then the treatment of hypertension may well be economically justifiable. Therefore choice A is most damaging to the conclusion and is the best answer.

Choices B and D tend to support the conclusion; choice B says that making preventive treatment widespread would not introduce economies of scale, and choice D identifies one aspect of prevention that is both costly and essential. Choice C undermines a different conclusion-that society should not support treatment for hypertension-but does not damage the conclusion actually drawn. The fact that different preventive health measures have different economic consequences (choice D) gives no specific information about treatment for hypertension, and so cannot affect the conclusion drawn.

对这道题选择A比较迷惑，请大牛指教

请问你是看不懂呢，还是不知道如何排除其他选项？我大概按照我的理解来给你解释一下

Treatment for hypertension forestalls certain medical expenses by preventing strokes and heart disease. Yet any money so saved amounts to only one-fourth of the expenditures required to treat the hypertensive population. Therefore, there is no economic justification for preventive treatment for hypertension.   

关注结论，题目问削弱，就是找一个选项指出有economic justification

Which of the following, if true, is most damaging to the conclusion above?

(A) The many fatal strokes and heart attacks resulting from untreated hypertension cause insignificant medical expenditures but large economic losses of other sorts.  中风和心脏病源于不治疗的hypertension，虽然医疗花费不高，但是有其他巨大的经济损失。【重点把握：insignificant expenditure/ large economic losses】

(B) The cost, per patient, of preventive treatment for hypertension would remain constant even if such treatment were instituted on a large scale.

(C) In matters of health care, economic considerations should ideally not be dominant.

(D) Effective prevention presupposes early diagnosis, and programs to ensure early diagnosis are costly.

(E) The net savings in medical resources achieved by some preventive health measures are smaller than the net losses attributable to certain other measures of this kind.

我題目的一二句看的不是很懂...有人可以翻譯一下嗎?~~><~~~

(我把題目最後的簡式化為 preventive treatment (hypertension) --> no economic justification, 答案是可以選的出來 但看不太懂題目><)

請幫忙阿><

某治疗能避免XXX的花费，而在XXX花费上结省的钱只有某治疗的钱的1/4。所以，这个治疗没什么经济的好处。

虽然这题作对了，但是发现自己并没有弄懂，看了楼上的才知道，原来FORESTALL是避免，预防的意思啊，呵呵，感谢楼上的！

Choice C undermines a different conclusion-that society should not support treatment for hypertension-but does not damage the conclusion actually drawn.

——题意和正确选项基本懂了，可发现解释中关于c选项的 这句话有点费解呢？请教，可否将这句话的意思翻译成中文？
